i only lose about 2 pounds a month now... sometimes 4 but never 8 or 10 anymore... i am doing everything the same but it is much slower... i think it is just because there isnt as much to lose .. hang in there you are not alone!!

Hey there,

You'll get all sorts of answers to this, as the range is ALOT. I have not lost anything in the last 2 months. I lose 25lbs within the first month of being banded, then nothing for three months after that, then another 15 over 3 months, then nothing for 3 months, then a few more, etc. I'm down 55 lbs at 15 months out.

How long have you been banded? Are you exercising? If not, you may want to kick up your exercise program. And if you are exercising, you're probably gaining muscle.

I would try writing down your food intake for a few days to make sure that you're concentrating on getting in hard Protein instead of empty calories. If you are eating the right foods, it may be time for a fill. Good luck!

I have lost an average of 5 ounces a week since May (first fill)

Yeah at the beginning a lost alot with minimal effort now I am fighting for every pound at this rate I'll never reach my goal of 100 pounds per month

Flower:

I lost 11 pounds the first week; non after first fill, then after my second fill 4 pounds. It seems slow, but if you divide that in the 12 weeks. It's more than a pound a week.

As long as it is coming off and I'm not gaining.

Flower, if your goal is to lose 100 lbs per month you're going to be sorely disappointed...

Try to concentrate on where you want to be a year from now. Yes, I admit that I'd like to be one of the bandsters who lose 100 lbs in my first year, but I'm also going to be very grateful if I can lose 5 lbs a month and get down 60. I'm already down a few sizes and my knees and back are improving too. Hang in there!

At this point, over 3 years after banding and with not much left to lose, I am very happy if I lose 2 pounds in a month!
