hi everyone slow loser here. banded in oct 2007. lost 64 pounds. have not lost anything since june 2008. need to lose 40 more. i excercise 4 days a week and eat right 90% of the time. i ave not gained anything so i should be happy but i am so frustrated. this platuea is killing me. has anyone broken through a plateauand if so please help. thanks!!!!!

coach, i had my last fill in may. i was banded in oct2007. i have lost 50 pds. ever since may i have not lost a single pound. i still exercise 4x week and my band is tight enough. do you think i have hit my plateau? if so , do you have any advice as to how i can break through. this is very frustrating. i have 55 more pounds to go.

step c i am very happy for you.

hey everyone. i have not been on for a while. it seems i got on just in time. i will definitly get a tt when all is said and done. i just turned 41 last month and have always dreamed of a flat tummy and breast lift. but of course having 2 kids (over9lbs.) and nursing them for a year each kinda does something to the body. i have only lost 54 pounds. i have about 50 more to go so maybe next year i will treat myself.:confused_smile: i can't wait!!!!

you are so funny bandfan1. i remember feeling the same way. like it was a new lease on life. after trying everything under the sun to lose weight, this was going to be the begining of a whole new world.( hey wasn't that a song?) anyway i am counting with you. how exciting!!!!!

yeah fanny adams, i should have known better. i was just soo excited about felling full faster. but my doctor properly chastised me so i have been schooled in knowing the difference. i felt like a kid. hahaha.

bandfan1 i will be praying for you. you will do great. just keep us posted. i will be counting down with you!!!!

hey sorry for the mix up steph c. let me say it to you. goodluck with the tummy tuck. i know you are going to look HOT HOT HOT.

bandfan1, my prayers are with you. i hope things work out great. when i am done losing the weight, i too will get a tummy tuck. i know you are going to look HOT HOT HOT!!!!:biggrin2:

steph c and fanny adams, thanks for the heads up. i called my doctor and had .2cc taken out. feel sooo much better. what i thought was great restriction was indeed to much fill. you ladies are the best. i can now drink water without feeling FULL. i am back on my protien shakes and had some mushy lima beans.( great source of protien). i am back at the gym and i lost 1.5lbs last week. thanks again for the backup!!!:crying:

hey fab fourties, i just had my third fill and i can barely get water down. this is the most restriction i had. i am happy with it. it's just tough. i still think i want to eat a lot but the band won't let me. good thing. i can't complain. this is what i wanted. just want to get this off my chest.

hi all!! i am 40 years old. i have been banded since oct 07. i have lost 41 pounds.:tongue_smilie: i love this thread. i hope everyone is doing great with there band. i love my band. i wish i did this a long time ago but life is what it is. good luck to all!!!!!!

kbinaz, when you put it that way, you are right. i am sure without the band i would have gained 10 pounds at least. thanks for setting me straight!!!!!!

i like the elliptical. i think i get more workout on it. i stay one for one hour and clock about 5 miles and i burn 500-600 calories. it has worked wonders. i wish i had one at home. i use it at the gym. oh well at least i get to use it.

hi everyone, i have not posted in a while. i am losing weight o.k. but not fast enough for me. read some people have lost way more than i have even being banded at the same time. it kinda makes me feel like this is not wirking for me. but i just have to keep reminding myself that everyone is different. but boy it's hard to remember sometimes. i wish everyone well with their weight lost.
