LATONYASINGLETON reacted to ontherighttrack in That Time Of The Month....
Have only had one period since my fill but from that experience, I agree that skinny cow products are great. I like their ice cream sandwiches. I did munch a little more during that time and my weight reflected it. Overall a half pound or pound gain but for me personally that is not a huge set back for a whole week. I have about 80 to lose so that was a small setback in comparison.

LATONYASINGLETON got a reaction from OxnardCaGirl in Post Opt 7 Weeks
I was banded March 28, 2012. I love the band I had my first fill on May 17 I eat about 1 cup of food every meal. I exercise 45 minutes four to five days a week.

A healthy weight loss is between 1 - 2lb per week which equals between 4 and 8lb a month. If you are hugely overweight you may lose quicker initially but it will slow down.
What you have to remember is you didn't gain the weight overnight and you won't lose it that way either. Remember every lb you lose no matter how slowly is better than you gaining a lb. I would have loved to have got the band and woken up skinny the next morning but it didn't happen. LOL But what did happen was that I lost weight slowly and steadily over a period of about 6 months until I got to goal.
So slow and steady is good

Just think of the story of the turtle and the hare. This should not be a race, it's going to take a steady consistent process. Follow the rules and excercise as you gain strength and lose weight. I don't read statistics but I have heard over five years gastric and band end up about same. Yes band is slower. I wouldn't have it any other way. Enjoy the journey!

LATONYASINGLETON reacted to elcee in Overfilled At 5.8Cc!!!!!!!!!
You have lost 60lb, I would say that is quite an achievement and it is one that you probably would not have made without your band.
Time and time again there are threads here about being too tight and how dangerous it is but a lot of people ignore them believing that the tighter they are the better.
Be aware that if you have your band removed without revising to another form of WLS you will probably very quickly regain the 60lb you have lost and possibly even more.You may need to see if you can work with your band for a while, if not then research the alternatives.
