Looking for May Bandsters

Hi! I am wondering if there is anyone that has a May date set. I know my surgery should be in May but no set date.

    So just went for my follow up (at week 21) and am disappointed that I haven't lost any weight in 4 weeks! I have not gained which is great but, with all the hard work, it is very frustrating when the scale hasn't changed. I know this is a process and a lifelong commitment but I want all this weight off yesterday! The doctor was able to give me a fill and I have 8 cc in my 14 cc band now. Hopefully that will help. It didn't help, of course, that I haven't been able to exercise in 2 weeks because I broke my toe! Is this what they call bandster hell??? :smile:

    I think I would call this a plateau. I didnt lose weight for 3 weeks but I just kept pushing and pushing and pushing and the weight started coming off again! You can do it!

    Thanks for the support! I am actually at week 17 not 21....see how I rush things! :smile: Anyway, back to the gym tomorrow, my broken toe feels better and even if I do the recumbent bike, at least I am doing something. I bet by my next appointment I will be headed in the right direction!
