Weigh in... how much have u lost?

[JRFAN88 1]

Down 30 pounds since starting the pre-surgery diet. 4 of those pounds have been this week since my 3rd fill. Not sure if I might be a little too tight or if this is my sweet spot. I have not PB'd or slimed since surgery. I gurgle & burp though more since this fill. No reflux during the night like I've read some people have when they're too tight so I'm gonna stay with this fill for now.

Hi Everyone,

I was banded on March 3 and have lost 50 something lbs. However, I've been stuck at this weight loss for about a month. I had a fill about 2 weeks ago and it's hard to eat without eating very slow and chewing very good. I hope this helps me get past this plateau. everyone is doing great - keep up the good work.

hi all,

as of today i'm down 32lbs since surgery, not including the 10lbs from pre-op diet...all together is 42lbs, and i couldn't be happier!

Hi everyone - I am down 36 lbs since my band on May 6th and 42 since preop. I had my 4th fill two weeks ago and have restriction for the first time, I stay full for 5-6 hours and can't eat very much at all. It's great! Now I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm halfway to goal!

I´m so glad to read these posts. Was just telling my husband maybe something was wrong with me. Since losing the 30 pounds post op I´m stuck. I´ve had to fills, but still the scale isn´t moving, and I still get hungry.

Most of the time I make good choices, I did another clean out of the cabinet though.

Hello and congrats to everyone. I have a question...I went in for my second fill on Thursday the 14th. Since the fill I have had no restriction and am hungrier than ever before...is this normal?

This Wednesday will mark 3 months since I was banded. I have lost 20 pounds so far. I wish it were more, but I am grateful for what I've lost. I dream of being skinny for Christmas!! Things really seem to be working in my favor since my last fill 3 weeks ago, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed, LOL!

I was banded july 1, 2008 but started pre op on june 13th and i am down 36lbs. I am so excited. I cannot change my ticker because i dont remember my first password. But i am trying to figure this out. Good luck and great job everyone.

Yeah for me! I lost another 8 pounds this month!!! I really think it was 10 pounds but yet again my monthly friend came in time for my monthly appointment with my doctor (you think I would change my doctor's appointments).

I didn't get a fill today...the doctor and I both agreed that where I am at is good for right now. I am still learning how to work this fill level as I tend at times to still eat too fast and not chew enough so things get stuck. I am also getting full really fast. So...I will check in with him again in a month and see where that goes!

I lost 2lbs this week despite my impending monthly!! I tend to hold extra Water weight around that time...DAH!!!

Anyways, I don't go for my possible 3rd fill until Oct. 13th!! I've started to keep a journal because I'm restricted in the am and early pm, but then get loose and famished in late pm's. Plus I'm adding a 2nd Protein Shake when needed as instructed by my PA. I still remain proud though, I'm not hitting the 1cup per meal yet!!
