Congratulions Butterfly!!! Keep up the good work!

Good for you! Keep it up!

Hey butterfly! That's awesome! Keep up the great work! Isn't the band an amazing tool! I love mine!!! It's been the best thing I've ever done for me!!!:tt1:

Well Done!

Congrats! That is so exciting.

It can be discouraging to see others lose fast but at the same point I'm not giving up. I've lost 24 since my surgery on March 24th and I'm still moving forward.

dont be discouraged!!! You are doing great!! I love that I have lost but sometimes feel like it is not enough. Only 2 people have commented on it so its not showing yet...that is hard.

Keep up the good work!!!!! :thumbup:

Congratulations! You've done fantastic! I'm sure you feel better which is half the "battle". And the fact that you've lost the same pounds that have come back over and over is really a huge accomplishment!

Thank you for your motivating post!:thumbup:

I can't get too discouraged. I went shopping the other day and was able to get the next size down in clothing. The first time in a very long time!

Congratulations.....job well done!:thumbup:

That is something that you'll notice...even though you don't seem to be loosing weight at times, you will loose in inches! So keep your chin up! Sounds like you're doing great!:thumbup:

Congratulations! I do wonder though, if there is such a thing as losing too fast??? I started my pre-op diet on 6/8/10 and weighed in at 274. I was banded on 6/22/10. They did not weigh me in on surgery day (which I thought was strange)!! Today is 7/3/10 and I weighed myself and I am down to 245. That's 29 pounds!!!! As you can imagine I'm super EXCITED!! However, I also am cautious! I know that I'm going to level off soon and lose a little at a time (which I'm anticipating and okay with). I just wanted to know did anyone have a large weight loss at the beginning?

congrats!!! way to go!!
