I agree. It's frustrating but the simple answer is = we're not made up of math. Our metabolism is affected by lower calories, our BMR is not stagnant, you retain water more in certain environments than others. So the short answer is, if you keep up what you're doing, you will lose weight. It's not going to necessarily happen in a week. It's not going to happen in a month, maybe. But when you look at your weight loss over the course of a few months, you will see that you've been losing if you stick to this plan. The thing is, this irregularity is why people fall off the wagon. They do all the right things and yet they plateau. It doesn't seem fair. But your body is changing, even if you can't see it on the scales. So don't give in to emotional you and listen to rational me. The band works. Look at my pictures. It works.

I was banded March 7th 2011 (1 year in two weeks) not doing as good as you ladies, but I've lost 65lbs went fromt a size 18 to a loose 12...I really feel great...

I didn't have shortness of breath but it feel like I couldn't take a deep breath. Like my diaphragm wouldn't expand that much or something. don't know how else to explain it. As for the soups, i just bought regular creamed soups like cream of mushroom, potato etc. then used a small strainer to take out the chunks. Some people also will puree in that part.

Thank you sooooooo much. I recieve that! I beleive that might just been intended for me. That is my all time favorite passage in the Bible. I do trust in Him! Have a blessed day!!!!

congrats on meeting your first goal! too bad about the fitbit! i love it...

November 21st 2011. 14 of those 51 pounds were pre op. So technically, I've lost 37 pounds since surgery.

I had my surgery a year ago on Feb 4th. I am down 80 so pounds. My original goal was 75 pounds and a size 12. Well, got some size 6 pants on today and they are a little loose in the waist. So to say I am happy is putting it mildly! Happy you have been successful too!

Umm......nope...still 7 inch around.......its now about three inches longer than when I started......life is good.....lol....
