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.

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!!!!!!

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.

hey missourimom, i was banded just 10 days before you. what are you doing to lose weight so fast? i bet you look great. i have only lost 27 pounds and i pretty much follow the rules. if you have any secrets, please let me know. by the way i am also from missouri, kansas city.

hey i feel you. 4 months out and i thought i would be losing at least 10 pounds a month. NOT!!! i lose about 5-6 pds a month. although i don't eat a diet per say, i do excersize 4 days a week and i even took a weight training class 2 day a week. i guess i have to be patient. i have lost 27 pounds but i wish it was 40. maybe i am being unrealistic.

i have only lost 26 pounds. you are inspiration . i want to hit 50 pounds by my 41st birthday in june. i wil get there.

hey lelee, you look great!!!!! you go girl. i was banded two weeks after you. i have only lost 26 pounds. keep it up. i will post my pics when i don't feel so self conscience. talk to you soon!!!! it's great to see another sister doing her thing.

i just had my thid fill today too. i am soooo happy i did. i lost 20 so far. i hope this is a good restriction. i feel different. i can hardly drink my protien shake. finally i will get my money worth.

hey i feel the same. i did not tell anyone except my husband for that same reason. i lost 16 pds. i am kinda frustrated but i am in it for the long haul. i go for my 3rd fill on thursday. i hope i get a good restriction. i really like this thread. i feel like i am not alone. cheers to us all!!!!!

bozlee i have read the article. it was very informative. it explained alot. thanks for the support. i will keep my head up. i forgot the hard part was getting the band and i should be thankful for that. i just needed a boost. i love you guys!!!!!

i love hearing everybody is doing so well. i amnot doing so well. i was banded on sept23rd. i have had 2 fills. my third one will be on jan 10th. i have only lost 16 pds. i go to the gym 4 times a week. i take a weight class twice a week and do cardio twice a week( 3miles on treadmill or bike). i can eat anythin at anythime without any problem. i pray this fill will give me the restrictions so may of you are feeling. and for those who have restrictions, cherish it. i wish i were you. my goal was to have lost at least 25-30 pds by now. how dissapointing. i feel such the failure.:cry

i am right there with you. damn holidays. i gained three pounds. i dont get my next fill for three weeks. i will call doctor before that. keep the faith and stay strong. i am trying to do the same.

i am going through the exact same thing. i have not lost anything since last month. infact i have gained three pounds. i have had two fills and no restriction. i too feel like this is another failed diet. i even go to the gym 5 days a week. i walk 3 miles on the treadmeal. still nothing. i am beyond frustrated. i don't get my next fill until three weeks. i am soo sad. i too would like some advice.

boy you ladies are such inspirations. i have had two fill and have absoulty no restrictions. i can eat anything. i have gained three pounds since my last fill two weeks ago. i go for my next fill in three weeks. i would have gained more if i didnot go to the gym. has this happened to anybody else? some advice. i have the new ap band. i now have 6cc in.
