Yay!!!! You should be so proud of yourself!

Congrats, there are so many awesome changes in store for you. I agree with all the previous post, you have to put the effort in and do the work and eat healthy. It's so worth it in the end.
I'm 7 months post op and am down 86lbs.
Exercise is difficult at first but gets easier the more pounds you lose. I don't know where it came from but I have a little sign that says,
"It doesn't matter how slow you go, you're still lapping people sitting on the couch!"
Congrats again and good luck!

Hey, We don't use the F word in here! Have you been keeping a chart of your daily intakes for past 4 months? If so I would contact your Nutricianist and set up appointment to show them your chart, they can make any nessasary changes to diet. Another thing may be the fact that your body is taking longer to heal from Hernia Op. without the proper fills you're obviously not going to lose more than current rate, Again Not your FAult, Your still healing. It's easy to give up. don't be discouraged, and you can't judge your personal losses to others each person has differnt metabolisims. Stressing and being upset will only leed you to doing the wrong things . keep a positive attitude, and know tha tonce your back on scheduled fills you'll lose more each week. Please don't feel like the F word. Nobody ever said it was going to be easy.. You have some good people on here willing to help. Failure is not a option!

Amazing!!!! Keep up the good work. 50lbs was my first big goal too.

Just think what wonderful things are in store for your future. I was just like that, feeling bad about myself and thinking I was going to die anytime we had to go to an amusement park or anything.
But now I am 7mnths post op and have lost 83lbs. I feel soooooo much better! I can do more and not be out of breathe. I feel great!!!!
I still have 28 more pounds to go until I reach my goal.
If you buckle down and really work hard, you CAN do anything! Good luck:)

I hate to tell you this, but you do have to "diet" in the beginning to get any results. Just because you CAN eat something, does not mean you should be. They banded your stomach, not your head, so it can be hard. After being filled more you will have more restriction and not be able to eat as much, etc. You're in what is known as bandster hell- the period after surgery before you're filled enough for complete restriction. You have to put some effort into it, only eat the amount of food you SHOULD eat, not CAN eat. Good luck- it is worth it, for sure!!!!
