I lost 7lbs since my last fill. I was frustrated because I had not lost much weight for a month, and then bammmm It came off. 7lbs in 7 days. Thank you all for those that gave me tips to jump start my loss, it really worked. I have a 10CC Vanguard bands and I am at 7.5cc and have great restriction now. I really feel like I'm learning to use my band and eat smaller portions of food. It has been 3 1/2 months since my surgury and I have lost almost 40lbs. For all those that have been impateint with your weight loss, hang in their because once you get the proper resriction you will loose weight. Although their have been days I have been frusterated and even wondered if I did the correct surgery, I now feel that their is nothing that can stop me now. I lost weight over Thanksgiving and am confident that I will do well throughout the rest of the holiday season.

YEAH TOD !!!! Good going and thanks for the support

Wow, 40 lbs is excellent! Thanks for the reminder not to get discouraged if loss halt or slows.
