August 2008 Banders

Hey where is everyone??? I was just wondering how you all were doing so far.

Me-- Lost 44 lbs and had one fill 2.5 cc's feeling great!!! Let me know what's going on with you too.

I have lost 38 lbs and feeling great as well. I can still eat quite a bit -- more than I thought I would be able too -- but feeling great and loving life!

Well I had my lap band on August 15th. Lost 9lbs. the first week. Have only lost 4lbs. since. I am filled with 7cc. I am not losing weight. I still can eat a good portion. Nothing like I did before surgery. Getting very frustrated. My doctors assistant say everytime I go in that it will catch up to me eventually. It just makes me mad that everyone else seems to be losing wait easily except me. Help?

Are you loosing inches ??? Maybe that is the difference -- don't be discouraged --- remember this is a lifestyle change -- it took time to get it on and it will take time to get it off. Keep the faith!

I have lost about an inch around my waist and about 3 inches in my stomach. I guess I just want to see the pounds drop off a little faster. I could probably go down a half size in jeans. I just thought I would have lost more.

That is great! See -- don't be discouraged its probably water --- You will be thin in no time!

I am off all my medications now -- there are times i get discouraged as well -- but it seems as though overnight i will loose 4 lbs.

I'm 4 weeks Post-Opp. I lost 23 lbs within weeks and have hit a plateau. My wife had the surgery last year and has lost 60lbs, but it took 8 months and she looks fantastic. Keep the Faith, I am it takes time but it's worth the wait. Exercise daily it helps
