Nearly a year in and Not losing weight.

[Ms.Beers11 1]

I was banded April 2016. I'm only down 10 lbs and have 4.3cc. I asked my nurse for more and she said the doctor only wants her to give .3 at a time. I guess he feels it's safer to restrict the stomach at a slow pace for better long term success. Since you hear all those horror stories about people who drop it quickly then have problems or need it removed I tried to feel positive like he was trying to be as safe as possible. I feel like I started to have some progress around 4cc. I was hoping the progress would be faster. I track all my food on an app called "my plate" and try to stick to 1200 calories a day (sometimes the wine and cheese tops me out) I know I'm eating less, I'm just not seeing the results. I play ball 2 a week, go to the gym sometimes and am really active with my husband ( he likes to canoe and hike) I understand you feelings because I feel the same way. But I liked what you said about it being a marathon not a race. I'll try to remember that.
