:mellow: I have learned in the past 4 month( since I was banded) that I am my biggest

critic!!! I have good and bad days.. Today is a bad day I got on the scale

and I am at 223 only down 4 pounds in 3 weeks!! I was really trying for 2

pounds a week but, it is not happening! I eat next to nothing everyday! I am

eating cottage cheese, protein bar then shake and a light dinner... and

losing nothing!! I feel so discouraged!! I don't reget getting my band but,

I wish someone would have told me that the weight loss is slowwwwwww!

I did however start at 260 and now I am down to 223.. I have 8 cc in my band already

wish it was less but who know where life will take me!:mellow:

    I'm at the 4 month mark myself and I have lost 40lbs, so we are about the same as far at that. I only have 4.5cc in my band. Don't give up!

    I'm learning that it is different for everybody. I'm frustrated to hear that everybody's dr (except mine) seems to add more cc at a single fill. I was banded 4 months when I was finally up to 5.75. At least you are losing. Don't be so hard on yourself. Maybe you could increase your exercise?!
