i am 1 month post op and i only lost 10 lbs I am frustrated maybe this wasn't for me or I am just not patient

I Feel you

I do know the temptations but I just bite the bullet cause Iwanna lose this weight so think of it as I don't wanna get no fatter wish u the best and I know the holidays are gonna be challenging but we have to have will power and I have to really have it because my b day is on christmas day boy ol boy

ok

WoW that is awesome keep up the godd worl Plz Plz tell me how u did that

Agree with above statement, post op we are all very excited and expected the weight to fall off. But reality sets in and we all learn there is stil work involved in this journey. I also am a year out and I still learn everyday. If I want to lose I have to eat right and 95% of the time I do. I occassionaly stray, a have something that is a waste in my calories but those days are few and far between and usualy a planned party or event. I still have episodes when I eat to fast and foods gets stuck. Bad behavior patterns are hard to break but with time and discipine we can learn new and improved habits. Take the time to learn your new body and new limitations, the weight will come off if you stick to the plan and eat lean and heathy. We all lose at different speeds, never compare yourself to another. Every pound lost is a success. Good luck and keep motivated.

Thank u

<P>I can see myself in this picture all over again. When most people are first banded- we expect and want to see major results "quick", and I do think in a sense it's normal to want that. However, for most people it's going to take time to lose the weight. I was told time and time again by my doctor and others on this site that time is something we can't rush. It took time to gain the weight and it's going to take time to lose it as well. Don't beat up on yourself because someone's success is a little more progressive than yours. Each person on this site is an individual and our bodies all work totally different. Learn your band and what works for you. Learn to eat healthier foods and balance the appropriate amount of protein and water your body needs to become lean and strong. I have been in this for over a year and each day continues to be a learning experience. Good luck and stay motivated and encouraged. </P>

Thank u for those words and I know I am so excited to see my new self one day Thank you

Keep up the good work> I am almost a month out haven't lost that much but I've lost and i haven't had that feeling but I really hope I can get a fill next week when I go. I will keep u posted also wanna no do u work out

Thank you and I do choose better food and i eat small portions all the time and maybe my expectations are to high. I know it's not gonna come off overnight so yes I need to embrace my tool and hang in there I know. I have became active and I do have to admit I need more fluids. Thank You guys so much i need to stop stressing.

I was banded on 10/7 I went to my 2 week check up and he wouldnt fill me. He said I am still healing. I go back 11/10 and he said he would fill me then. Most drs I think wait 4-6 weeks depending how your surgery went and how your healing and tolerating food. Good Luck!!

Thanks hopefully I will get a fill I am not losing weight and I say hungry but i still choose good things to eat

I am having the same issues being hungry and I hope I can get a fill on my first appt which is on 11/11 I've been eating kinda good choices but my weight loss is so so slow

Congrats

You really know how to give us a boost. I really feel like I can do this I can beat this thing called addiction I know I will be thin one day soon and I have to believe in myself and others will as well. Thank You

Jess I totally agree with u I am almost 3weeks post op I wanna go to the gym and just walk on the tredmill but I never get up and go I want the weight to come off' but I'm not helping my tool enough. I have good restriction because my dr.filled me while i was in surgery. We wanted this surgery so now we have to work hard and help get the weight off. I wiss you all the success as well as mines and get motivated I am

Yes this website helps me alot. When i feel in doubt I come here and there is a answer to all my questions i just wanna see the results to quick and not realizing I have to work with this device. So we will succeed and 6 months from now we will be half the size we are now and i can't wait

okay thanks everyone I don't like working out either but i am abt to start a routine with walking then my mother n law is gonna helpme with my arms and abs I am hoping my skin don't look real bad with the wls

Yes i am also 2 weeks out and I stay hungry but when i do eat i get full quickly but I wanna taste food eat food that I am not suppose to. I have ate some cream of crab soup which is bad full of calories and i did try some bake chicken for extra protein but I full so damn quilty. I didn't do this to stay fat so back on track and I blended some Wendy's chilly which is ok for real the rn told us to try it,it has protein and Flavor so try it guys No crackers

Great I am abt a week post op still on a full liquid diet til next Tuesday I am down -9 lbs. keep up the good work.

Hello to everyone that commented on this I am a day away of being 1 week post op and for me its not that hard to get the food out my mind but believe me it comes across. We all made this decision to be healthy to loss the unwanted weight. I just came to live with this and obey your tool you are not restricted on what u like it's actually how much of it u put in u and we no that shouldn't be a whole lot. Everyone stay strong and eat what u like in moderation or even alter the meal a little to be healthier with taste. That's what I am gonna do Because did we really go threw surrgery for nothing

good luck to you. i wish you much success. i hope the week goes fast for you. i can't wait until i can say i have one week to get banded. my date is december 1st and it seems like an eternity. keep us posted

It will fly by ur day is coming and good luck to you

wonderful u seem full of energy

Wonderful I am so waiting to start dropping this weight i get banded on 10/7/11 and I am ready. Good luck and stay on the right track
