I wish I had this to worry about

I will try to add a Protein shake daily.. Please keep the suggestions coming....

@ Rachel412 Thank you for the suggestion, i will try to do that...

Thank you all for your support and encouraging words. I could definetly do better with my choices of foods. I am in love with popcorn and I eat that for dinner just about every night. That is my weakness... I go in for another fill soon, hopefully I will be at the restriction I need to start loosing again. Thanks

Have I failed the band or has the band failed me? I had my surgery on December 15,2010 and lost only 24lbs. I know that is 24 lbs I could not have lost with out the band but I am so discouraged. I go in for my 3rd fill at the end of the month. Please pray that this will do it for me. I am in bandster hell, I am still able to eat anything I want just in smaller portions. I was hoping I would have lost much more by now. It is just wonderful reading about everyone success, I pray that I will be able to post a success story soon. Please help!

I was wondering the same thing. I am not loosing weight either. I hope you find your sweet spot soon

Thank you for your post... Sounds like you are where u need to be.. I hope I get there soon.. Keep up the good work

I am glad i read this post. I am so discouraged with my band. I was banded on dec 15 2010 and have only lost 25 pounds.. I have had 3 fills and cant wait to get another. After reading this I am a little bit encouraged not 2 give up.. Thanks

@ bunnyluv37, you sound like me, my scale is not moving at all for me! Very discouraging! I am going in for my 4 fill soon and I hope this will be the restriction need. I said that at fill 1-3.. Oh well, We cant get discouraged have to keep focused and the weight will fall off

My doctors office do them every 4-6 weeks, but I opt for 6 weeks. I am going in for my 4th fill and I am still not at my restriction... Weight loss for me has been very slow

It is very frustrating I know!. I am 4months out and cant get the weight to come off to save my life. But after reading all of the posts and knowing people that have had the surgery, I must be patient. The weight will come off.. So, just hang in there.. There is life at the end of the tunnel!

I have had 3 fill so far, cant wait for the 4th, hopefully I will start to loose soon! DISCOURAGED

If I were you I would go to the emergency room. Immediately. Hope all goes well

Good news story! Thanks for sharing! There is hope for me as well... loosing very slow.. I guess i havent gotten 2 my restriction yet.

Wow! I will continue to be patient. Thank you for sharing!

Very inspirational. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you very much, this is the kind of encouragement I need to keep focus. Thanks for sharing Patience is the key...

I am so discouraged. I cant believe that by eating less a person is still not able to loose weight.. I am strongly feeling that I should have had the Gastric bypass surgery instead.

Thank you sharing your experience. It really helped me because I am discouraged.. But there is hope.. Thank you

Congratulatins, How many fills have you had so far?

I am in the same boat. 3 months out and lost only 20 pounds. I know everyone is telling us to be patient but I did expect to loose more weight by now. After saying that, keep up your good work. 10 pounds a month. that is awesome.

I agree... That is the frustrating part. I was hoping I was going to be one of the few people who got a restriction after the 2nd fll..But oh no.. I can still eat all the foods I like.. I am so ready to start loosing more weight.

They are my favorites as well. I have had 2 fills and I am able to eat both with no problem.

Thank you I will definetly look into this,

I am ready to get the scale moving again. I am on my second fill and I feel some restriction. I need help with what kinds of food are you all eating to loose weight. What does a meal consist of for you? Thanks Still trying
