Walk walk walk...the best solution

I live in daytona beach...here anytime you need me

So I have come to the conclusion that I am, and will always be a slow loser. I am currently at 6cc in a 9cc bands and I'm only down 12 lbs since May/1/2012...I'm working my ass off in the gym with no progress, I even eat right......I'm finding myself getting discouraged at times. BUT I refuse to give up....

Thanks everyone....

For those of you who have made a snap decision that you are slow losers, it is far too early to make that assumption. If after one year you've lost less than 40 lbs you might be able to make this claim but there is so much you do not understand about the band and the journey you are on. 2 months does not make a trend. 2 years maybe?
It's understandable how you came to this conclusion. Most of us were enticed into the lapband with grandiose visions of losing 10-12 lbs every month and the weight would simply fall off. The band would do it all. And of course, all of this would happen immediately after surgery. HA! Surprise, that aint happenin! Now you will have to work with your band, now you will have to learn to communicate with your band, now you will have to learn how and why your body reacts to different food choices. You're still freshmen seeking a doctorate so be patient and stay the course.
I embellished this quote and don't recall where I stole it from:
The jealous competitor. – Don’t be jealous of others. Jealousy is the art of counting someone else’s blessings instead of your own. Stop comparing your journey with everyone else’s. Your journey is YOUR journey, NOT a competition. You are in competition with one person and one person only – yourself. You are competing to be the best you can be. If you want to measure your progress, compare yourself to who you were yesterday or last year.

I'm the same way. I was banded on May 18th and have only lost. 10 lbs. I'm going for my 3rd fill next week. I get really discouraged when my sisters point out that I haven't lost that much for what I paid for. I was self pay. I get really tired of hearing that. That's why I only told my immediate family. Some times I wished I would of told no one.

U just downloaded the app..I'm so ready

Just 2 words. STAY COMMITED

thanks for posting this..wish i knew this when i went through that.
i also wanna tell new bandsters dont compare your weight loss or how much is in your band with others. this is an individual journey as well as one we travel together. (if that makes sense).
everyone "cheats" at some point..dont beat yourself up!
ok that is all...now back to our regularly scheduled program..lol

THANK YOU.....

Well I went and got body fortress from Walmart and i love it......It high in protien so I don't have to use as much powder as i did with Jullian Micheals and it's only about $14.00 and a 2ld jug. I was supper stoked....
