22 weeks out

I am trying not to get discouraged but I have only lost 31 lbs and feel I should have lost more by now. I go for another fill next Tuesday...July 28. I want more restriction. I am up to 5 cc. I wish he would get more aggressive. Hope to have good news next week.

I know it seems slow. We all want to lose it quickly, but 31 in 22 weeks is more than 1 lb per week which is healthy. I know, who wants to hear that, right? I catch myself hoping for the big numbers and keep reining myself back in convincing myself I will be happy with 1-2 per week. Hang in there!!

I felt the same way. I lost 50 lbs and was band Oct 29, 2008. And others have lost 100 lbs, 80 lbs, etc. But look at it this way. At least you are losing. Those are lbs you will never see again.

Thanks to all of you for your words of encouragement. I am hanging in there.
