Hi everyone. I weighed in today, have lost 34 since surgery on May 27th, 64 since I began trying to lose in November.

Had my second fill last Thursday, and the scale has started moving again. WAHOO!

I had my band placed May 23rd and have lost 32 pounds since then. I am glad to see that I am in the ballpark with someone else. I was afraid I should have lost more as it has really slowed down to a pound here and there. Good job so far!

I'm feeling a bit frustrated too Tonja. It´s like I´ve been fooling with the same 4 pounds for a month. GRRR. I have lost an inch in my thighs though in the past month.

I'm right there with you. I keep waiting for it to jump start again but hasn't really happened but I am trying to tell myself that 2 pounds a week is good and quit being so greedy.

You all are not alone! I've lost about 36lbs or so since surgery 5/23.....over the last 3 weeks or so about 2 pounds!!! It seems when I restrict my diet more I stay at the same weight...but if I "pig out" meaning I eat a little more, I lose a pound! I think I may not be eating enough calories sometimes...and I have to step up my workouts but we're doing great!!! 3 months 30+ lbs....that's awesome!!

Nice to know I'm not losing my mind. Was worried did I stretch my pouch? But seems like we're in the same boat! Maybe I can get another fill next week. C'mon sweet spot!

I went for my second fill and my doctor would not do it.. he said I was doing well on my own to wait for 6 more weeks... WHAT?? had a surgery to be told to do it on my own ??? He stressed that there are only 10CC's and I should save them for when I need the other 8 I have... so i am on 2CC's Total weight loss was 42 lbs since surgery on May 19th... I can eat what ever I want to... I feel like I am on WW not lapband.... oh well we will see how I do..

That does seem odd. I had my third fill last Thursday. Think I am FINALLY experiencing some restriction. Keep us posted. Hang in there!

I just had .5cc put in my band today. I felt disappointed because I only lost 2oz from my last appointment in July. I have had a good amount of weight loss until I discovered how easily sugary, high calorie foods go done. I am hopeful my fill today will help me get back on track-especially because I am on a liquid diet for the next two days.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
