Well, I lose weight every time I eat less calories than my body needs.

I'm almost 19 years out of lap band and about 3.5 years out of MGB. There is no time limit when it comes to losing weight.

I kept losing until I was about 20 months out. I lost about 40 lbs during year 2, I think. It was much slower going during year 2 and the stalls were longer, but I kept sticking to my plan and the weight slowly kept dropping...

In 1998 I had a VBG, which is like a sleeve and a band together. I lost 100 pound in 8 months and by month 16 I was at 155. So, yes you can loose indefinitely if you follow your plan!

I am 18 months out and have lost 117 lbs. I started at 227 and am currently at 110. I recently lost another 5 without trying. Actually I am trying to just stop losing. Even eating more carbs.

I don't want to lose another lb!

Even at 5'2 I can't afford to.

I am 26 months out. Yes, i lost weight the second year as well. It took me 22 months to get to goal. I weighed 291.8 one week after surgery. 183.6 at one year after surgery. From Oct 2018 to August 2019 ( goal weight) I weighed 149.2 . So I lost 34 pounds the second year.

Yep. Yep. Yep. I lose weight whenever I need to. My window is 5lbs. So I'm either in "maintenance mode" MM or WLM (weight loss mode). :) It ALWAYS comes off in my M-Thurs WLM mindset. Then F-Sun I have fun fun fun till my daddy takes the T-bird away! :D

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
