We all have to remember the band is a tool to work with. All I can say is that I am a bander who lost over 11 stones in weight in Les than a year. Went a little too low, and am now maintaining succussfully at 10 1/2 stones less ... Five years later. Give us all the same start, and there will...

2015 was fab. Now looking forward to 2016. 4.5 years banded. A little weight gained but still a 10-12 :)

I had my best losses around 1200 calories but still can lose at 1600. Best definitely to focus on lots of protein and nutritious foods ... It's a lifestyle change x best of luck :)

Best of luck x

Thanks ladies. Just want to prove ... It's possible, and keep positive about the weight losses but also the non-scale victories too xxx

Happy new year 2015 Maintaining 11 stone loss xxx

That's exactly what I can feel. It's fine. Don't worry xxxx

Your port can move as your body moves but also as you lose weight. Mine is now between 2 and 3 inches higher than it started lol

I use a child's fork all the time ... but was never given the twenty twenty rule when I had my band. So swallow when I feel ready :) I don't think I have as tight restriction as a lot of banders though

Pick up the phone to your provider for their guidance, but i am sure being too tight is no joy! Xxx

Well done on your progress! X

I had my last fill over 2 years ago and that took me to 10.5 mils in a 14 mil band. I still get hungry sometimes tbh but the band limits me eating too much. I can eat well over 2000 calories (prob 3000) a day if I eat /drink the wrong things but if I stick to high protein and band friendly...

Banded I found maintenance the hardest. My target was 12 stones, and it actually look best around 11 ... and now I am 9 9 but went as low as 9 4. Far too low even though the bmi was 'ok'. Your body will find the right level. As I started upping my intake it boosted my metabolism and the...

Always best to focus on the bigger picture ... That's the danger of daily or weekly weighing (I should know ... I do it daily still eek) xxxx
