Hey, thanks for the comment! Your doing a great job!

Hey I see that your from the chicago land area! So am I, who is your surgeon?

Its going pretty well. Started pre-op diet at 302. Went into surgery at 288. Now im down to 270 and it seems to have kinda stopped this week.

Hey darling!

How do you know you might have a leak? I hope you dont and it is all still there! I think you are doing great with your weight loss and you should be so proud! I see that you do zumba, I always want to try it but I am so shy and I will feel like everyone is watching me. I am hoping maybe in another 25-30 pounds that I will work up the nerve to start doing some classes at the gym, I think it will mix things up and add to my weight loss.

My weight loss is also pretty slow. I work so so so hard for the weight that I lose. I am pretty jealous at people that are upset 5 months into having the band and saying they lost all this weight without working out. I bust my butt to lose the weight and my eating has to be ON POINT. I am not one of those people that can eat a little bite of icecream.

Banding is def a diet to me I am just hoping I dont give up because of frustration. I think the band keeps me on track but then me on my own!

255!!!!! I am sooooo jealous!!!! lol I am in a rush right now but I will check in again tomorrow and write more! Talk to you soon.

Sandra, I was reading about how you think you have slow metoblism. I know this is totally agaisnt doctors orders but in order to boost it you need to be eating every 3 hours... I eat every 2-3 hours small meals.

I got my fill, only .25cc tho, because I still have pretty good restrition. I lost 3 pounds last week and I havent gotten on the scale since monday... soo we will see!! Have you started working out?

Hey I have been good. I get a fill monday.. im not sure I really need it cuz I have pretty good resctriction but I have only lost 10 pounds since the 17th. I know alot of people say that is good, but I want more!!! How have you been?

I get my first fill next week. i lost only 8 pounds in a month... I know they say thats 2 pounds a week.. but I want more! I start working out again today, so hopefully it jump kicks the weight lost a bit before I go in next monday. Hope everything else is going well :-)

My starting weight was 320. I am currently 281. Lost 33 of it before surgery and only 6 pounds in the last 3 weeks.

Kerri, I havent seen you around, how is everything going?

Hey hun! No problem with the band so far, I am still healing and in the mushie stage, so the weight isnt moving as quickly as I like, I cant wait to eat normal and start eating right and working out. I see you get banded soon, how excited are you?!?!

Ya, I know that I need time to heal, but its like ugh! You know? Im finally banded I just want it to start working. LOL. I know thats not the way it works, but I wish it was. You def should be happy with 64 pounds down. 10 pounds a month is pretty good, thats what I would like to see.

Well I was just banded the 17th. I lost 34 pounds before surgery and only 5 since the 17th. Its kind of frustrating, but I cant expect much, all i did for the first week was lay around and recover. I need to start working out. Im looking forward to being able to eat normal foods * one more week* so I can make better choices and I need to start working out and then hopefully I will start seeing the scale move a bit more!

OK, i feel a lot better now. I felt so discouraged when I heard you lost 22 pounds after being banded! I lost 34 before surgery, the first 40 pounds come off the easiest, it seems like all down hill after that lol !!!

Did you lose any weight before surgery?

Hey, How are you doing? My weight loss has pretty much stopped :-( I cant wait for a fill!

Since I had surgery I only lost 4 pounds. But im down 38 since I started this process at the end of January.

Dr. Watkins, out of oak brook. its alright. the weight loss has kinda stopped for about a week :-( I know i need to start working out and be patient to get my fills and sweet spot. but man it was mighty nice when i was losing!

Hey! I see you are from chicago. Who was your surgeon, how is the band working for you?

Well thats exciting! I got banded May 17th. I'm kind of coming out of the whole buyers remorse faze. The pain goes away little by little each day. I cant wait to feel normal again. Who is your surgeon?

Everything went great. I am having a lot of pain from the gas and nothing seems to work for me. Im hoping it all goes away soon though!

Hey sweetie! Ya I live in chicago, and we are like 20 days different in age! lol Are you banded yet?

Hey how are you doing? How did surgery go?

Good luck tomorrow! You will do great!
