Count me in for 16.5 lbs. That will be about 2.5 lbs a week and bring me down to 235! Fingers Crossed!

Hi all - Well, first of all, it's been a while since I have posted on here and checked in with everyone. I realized this morning that 5 months ago today I had my LAP-BAND®® surgery. So, I wanted to post something and see how everyone is doing as they reach their 5 month mark. As of today: I have 8.3 ccs in a 14 cc band and think I have fairly good restriction, but might need a small fill at my next appointment. I have lost 73 lbs. :thumbdown: ( I was hoping for 75, but just missed it!) I still have a little over 100 to go until goal. I feel happier, healthier, and better than I have in years!

I live in Central Mass. Banded on 12/3/2009. Hi all!!

I'm in the same place with a bunch of you. Scale has been hovering at the same place (up and down 2 lbs.) for a few weeks now. I'm at 8 cc in a 14 cc band. I'm not really feeling restriction. I have had one of two 'stuck' episodes, but when I forget to chew well and it goes away after a minute or two. Other than that, no PB, no slime. And weight loss is stalled. I'm not eating bad, going to the gym 3-4 times a week, and still nothing. I'm really frustrated. I know I've lost a lot of weight so far, and don't get me wrong I'm thrilled about that. But I'm really frustrated that the scale is no moving right now. I was close to tears this morning when again, no movement. So - I'm counting calories again, counting exercise, and hoping that I see movement soon. Anyone go to a Lap Band Support Group? There's one at my surgeon tonight and I was thinking of going.

In case people aren't aware, there is an April Fool's Day Challenge that Tina started. If anyone wants to join, please see this thread: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f22466/no-foolin-its-april-fools-day-challenge-107675/

CONGRATULATIONS!! This is definitely the place to toot your own horn!! :thumbdown:

I'm going to add this challenge to the december delights social group and make a comment about it on the december delights thread. Not sure if everyone knows it's here and I bet there are others who would like to join!

Pre-surgery - 20 lbs. Post-surgery - 31.5 lbs. Total of 51.5 lbs, but I had a higher starting weight, so I'm sure that influenced my weight loss.

Liz - That's awesome!! Congratulations!! :thumbup:
