Mayo Banditos / Friday Weigh In !!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi, I was banded on the 26th. I started at 230, lost 15 lbs in about 8 days. I have not lost or gained a pound sense!! I will check in on Friday. Is it normal not to lose any weight?

Yep, it is completely normal and what is called "bandster hell". Don't worry, it'll pick up again but your body is just adjusting right now! Best of luck. :thumbup:

:thumbdown: Weighed myself this morning (before eating after the BM) DID NOT LOSE OR GAIN A lb! Very frustrated especially since I've been walking my ass off and ensuring I stay hydrated, I've kind of stuck so soft solids, and have PB's 3 times so far today for no reason. Will try again next week, 3 weeks out.

Hello, all mayo Banditos! I finally came out from my bandster hell cave after getting my first fill Wednesday (two days ago). YEAH!! I feel so good again. Was really struggling with feeling bad about the lack of restriction and my humongous appetite. :-p

But my Dr. said it's all good and put 3 cc's in my large band. Down 16 lbs on Wednesday and down 3 more today. Woo-hoo! I love my band!!

Happy Friday everybody!!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
