Please do get discouraged. I had been feeling the same way and was becoming a crazy woman when it came to stepping on the scale. I was banded on 7/26 and to date am down only about 23 lbs total but I have noticed a difference in inches. When you read the blogs everyone will tell you no 2 people are the same and they are correct. The best advice is get rid of the scale and only get weighed when you go to your doctor appointments, you'll drive yourself insane. Instead, concentrate on how you feel, eating the right food and getting plenty of exercise and you will notice a difference. Your clothes will be a great indication of your progress as well. Up until about a week and a half ago I was having my own pity party and I finally feel like I'm on track. You can do it! If you ever need a shoulder or need to vent feel free to reach out.

I am having the same issue. My cloths feel loose and I feel like I am losing inches, but the number on the scale does not move.. I am very discouraged. I go back to the Dr. on Thursday.

Just a little words of wisedom. Your weight gain didn't happen over night and it's not going to all come off over night. Things take time and your body is adjusting to all of the changes it's going through. Eat right and move as much as possible and give yourself time. If you do all of the things you are suppose to do the weight will come off soonier or later. I know soonier is what you want to see but time is the only true judge!
