U are doing great!!! My doc told me most people only use about a pound a week so loosing 2 lbs a week is great. I have lost 62 lbs since my surgery on Oct 29,2008 so I am loosing a little over 2 lbs a week. Remeber with the lap-band you are going to loose it slower verses the gasrtic by-pass surgery. I get discouraged from time to time but I look at what I have done and think wow I have never lost this much in my life time. Keep up the great work it will pay off. God bless!!

Congrats on the weight loss. I too was banded on the 29th of October. It seems like everyday get even better. I have lost a total of 46lbs. Keep up the good work :scared2:

Hi Teri thanks so much for your help on trying to figure out where I can attend a support group. Congrats on your weight loss. I go back to Dr. Eldridge on the 23rd of January for another fill. Take care.

I was pute on Max protein shakes. Not a big fan of the chocolate, the starwberry was ok. Hang in there you will do fine.

I am so glad to find some people in Oklahoma that had the lap band. I had my surgery on October 29, 2008 and have lost 34 lbs so far. My doctor was Dr. Eldridge. He has been so nice and caring. I am happy I chose him. I was wondering though I want to attend a lap band support group meeting and yet to find one. Can someone help me out there I would be very grateful. :grouphug:

I am so glad to hear I am not the only one that has been colder since my surgery. My husband has not had the band done. but when he lost a bunch of weight he said he was colder than usual.

I had the band surgery on October 29, 2008 and as of 1/6/09 I have lost 33lbs. I was thinking the same thing that I should have lost more. I was thinking though in the past it would have taken me 6-7 months if not longer to loose 30 lbs so I am happy with the loss I have had with the band.
