Checking to see if any of you have this sort of same scenario: I have been banded since July 24, 2009 and have been very satified with my progress, my weight loss has not been dramatic but I did only weigh 229 (at 5'1) when first weighed on 6/6/09. That is alot for a little frame. I was in a size 18, I am happy to report I am now in a size 12 at 186lbs. It seems to me I have lost more inches than weight, does anyone feel this way? Pre-op weight/day of Op weight/weight now 229/218/186:thumbup:

I am at 189 now, glad I am losing and not gaining anything. :blushing: Just started (.) sucks:blush:, always makes me feel fatter. If anyone needs a friend or just someone to talk to I am here anytime. Good luck to all, stay on track!!!

I lost 1.5 pounds this past week :biggrin:. Banded 7/24/09 Start weight 229 Surgery weight 218 Current weight 191 Goal weight 140 or less

I am going to jump in here...........hope ya'll don't mind. I am stuck at 192 (glad to be in onederland) and need motivation:blink:. I workout and eat right. I notice inches going away more than pounds. Any other suggestions?:scared2: Banded 7/24/09 Start weight 229 Surgery weight 218 Current weight 192, woo-hoo I am in Onederland. Goal weight 140 or less

I do burp, but the farting is what has worsened for me. :scared2:

So, I have been banded since July 24, 2009 and have only lost 36 lbs:confused:. I do not feel that I am losing like I should. I have noticed inches are gone as well. I walk up to 4 times a week :thumbup:and I just do not know what I am doing wrong. :glare:Uuuuggggg!!!!! At this rate I will not see goal for another 8.5 to 9 month, I am patient but come on...........:drool:

I had my first fill today. There was 3cc in my band and I did feel some restrictions but she went ahead and put 1.5 more cc in there. I was sick, so she took it out and told me I am sensative to fill and will need to take Children's Motrin to get rid of the swelling and with any future fills will need to start the Childrens Motrin the morning of my fills. Anyone else had these problems? Banded 7/24/09 First fill 8/24/09, Beginning 229/Now 204/Wanna be 140

I am down 2 lbs, moving steady....yeah!!!

I was banded on July 24, 2009, just got through with clear liquid diet and I am very happy (I was so hungry). I called my doctors office to see what they approve for the full liquid diet and I am able to have creamy Soups, sugar free pudding, and those sort of things. My hunger is not as bad, but I am eating 4-8 oz every 2-3 hours. I have a little abdominal pain (feels like I did 50 sit-ups, non stop). Pre-op I lost 10 lbs and to date I have lost 23 lbs. I am very excited about the weight loss.
