Hey Tammy.

I was banded in dec and have just lost a little over 30 pounds. It is going much slower that i expected but atleast i am losing. I just had my 3rd fill last week, my doctor is very conservative with the fills but i guess in the long run it will be better for my overall health. But right now i am losing faith.

Looks like we are all in the same boat. I was banded 12-29 and have lost 30 lbs. 22 of it was in the first 4 weeks on the liquid diet. I am getting another fill

next week, and I am hoping that will get me losing again. I am rather disgusted.

Tammy, the search feature here will point you to even more threads about December bandsters, just use advanced search and search for thread titles with the word December in them. Here's a few specifically geared to December 2006 bandsters. Hope this helps!

I was banded on Dec 14th 06 and have lost about 60 pounds. But recently I have really fallen off the band wagon as far as watching what I eat and exercising. I am a junior in college and when I was at school usually had time to go to the gym for an hr/ hr 1/2. And since our food was crappy I didnt really have to worry about overeating! But now that Im home I work 11 hour days, and have 4 hours once I'm home to cook clean and spend time with my fiance. So... it kind of leaves me in a rut and I'm starting to get depressed about my slowing loss.... Maybe its just the 6 month thing...we all seem to be a little down these days...

Don't get discouraged! Just try to eat the Protein first. You have lost twice as much as me. I just got another fill yesterday and I don't think I can eat yet.

Do you think another fill would help you? I really didn't want to get one, but now I see that's exactly what I needed.

Hi Tammy & everyone else!

I was banded in Dec. '06

I just had my 2nd fill last week. I don't understand why I still don't feel much restriction. I haven't been doing well with my eating. I'm able to eat way too much. I can't wait to get to the "sweet spot" everyone talks about. I had oatmeal this morning, a big salad for lunch and rice with hamb. tonight. (The problem is: I still snack all day)

I think I'll try the South Beach plan or maybe counting calories. I realize that it takes more than this operation to lose the extra weight...I NEED TO CHANGE MY THINKING ABOUT food.

I've lost 30lbs. I hope to start losing again.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
