Ok, Take a breath... You are doing everything right... The weight will come off. You are not in the green zone yet.. Keep getting your fills, try to stick to the 1200 calories a day, exercise...
You will get there...
As for your husband...Im jealous..wink (men are unbelievably fast losers)
Look at all your achievements and stay motivated....

I have a few questions that I am hoping may help you....
1. If you were to lose 15 pounds every couple of months - and KNEW that you were going to lose that amount....would it assist you in feeling less anxious? For me, it would....but I would want to be encouraged to know that was certainly going to happen with all of my hard work.
2. Do you know exactly how many calories you are consuming? And if you do - do you think you will be satisfied with less upon receiving additional fills in the future?
3. Do you think that if you had chosen to do this without the band - that there would be a higher likelihood of gaining it back. (I've lost hundreds of pounds and always gained them back....and more) I'm hoping the band will assist with this for me.
My heart aches for you that you are discouraged And I, too, am a self pay ($17K) and am extremely hopeful this is a tool that is going to work for me....when everything else has not. I've lost over 50 pounds on my own....and I am expecting the band to help me to continue and to keep it off this time.
On a very positive note - your numbers sound hopeful to me (15 pounds in 2 months) - and if you are exercising....perhaps you are building muscle too! Have you measured yourself? Maybe that would make you feel less discouraged?
I'm sending you some good energy....and if I can be of any help (I'm a newbie....but a really good listener!) feel free to let me know!
Here for you, Lisa
