    if your weight loss is slow. I was banded over 2 years ago, and I only loose around 3 - 5 pounds per month on average. It has been a painfully slow process, and at times I get discouraged because it hasn't happened faster. It dawned on me a few months ago that from where I started until today, my life has dramatically changed. I can now ride rollercoasters without fear that I won't fit in a seat. I sometimes even have a hard time finding myself in pictures of the new me.
    If the weight loss is slow, just keep at it. The weight will eventually come off if you follow the plan and exercise. I like to say that over 2 years I have not gained any weight. My scale keeps moving in the right direction. That is the best I can do.

    I'm working on 2 years with my band. I too would get frustrated with my weight loss. I wasn't losing fast enough. I should have been at goal weight in less than a year, and then it dawned on me. I'm right where I need to be. I have gone through 2 major surgeries in those 2 years that would have caused me to gain weight before. I still managed to lose weight. I still have weight to lose, but I know now that I'm going to eventually be at my goal weight. This is weight that will not come back.
    I didn't reach the green zone until around fill 5 or 6, and I even now, there are times that I have to have Fluid taken out because I get too tight. Then have to have Fluid added because I get to loose. I'm sitting in the green zone right now. Who knows how long that will last, but I'm certainly enjoying it while I sit here.

    I looked at what I weighed last year, and I only lost 40 pounds over the course of a year. I tell myself that is better than gaining, and with everything that I went through last year with all of the surgeries and complications that arose from them, I'm trying to be satisfied that I lost weight and didn't gain 1 single pound.
    I weigh less now than I did when I graduated high school 20 years ago, and that makes me feel wonderful. One of these days soon, I will take a picture of what I look like now. I can finally after nearly 105 lbs lost tell a difference. I guess it helps to wear clothes that fit (that I get to buy in regular stores and don't have to buy plus sizes any more.)
    I always figured that after a year I would be at my goal weight, but I'm not. I won't even be there at my 2 year mark, but I'm okay with that. I know that as long as that scale moves down (no matter how slowly) that eventually I will be where I want to be.

    Tried on clothes in regular sizes on Saturday for the first time in forever, and they fit. I was so excited!
