I just feel that at my size I should be losing faster. I keepy carve below

50gms and exercise 3x/week walking the treadmill for 40 minutes.

I assumed i would be a

Slow

Loser but I need progress as I am discouraged.

what size band do you have and how many cc's are you filled with? what does your daily food intake look like? you might not be eating enough food. if that's what's happening, your body goes into starvation mode and weight loss is much slower. have you seen your surgeon lately? what does he say? are you keeing a food journal? if so, go see your nutritionist and she should be able to tell you what you're doing wrong.

I have 7cc in a 14cc band.I had 8 before Nd it was too much.I keep amfood

Journal and am eating 1100-1200cal/day.

My surgeon says I should only expect to lose 1 lb per week but thAt is crazy at my size.

I just moved to a rural county and had to get a new doc.I am not crazy about him but he is the only one in a 50 mile radius and on my insurance. There are no nutritionists here either.

Sorry formmisspellings still getting used to iphone

You've lost 36 pounds in about six months. That's great. It really is, and worrying about not doing it faster might sap any satisfaction in your accomplishment. This is a journey, we take it one step at a time. Some folks have longer steps than others, but sooner or later we can all reach our goals.

After losing 50 lbs, I hit a plateau that lasted months. I'd like to be one of those folks who hit their ultimate goal in nine months, but I'm just not. I practiced biding my time, enjoying the freedom that my weight loss brought me, and kept faith that when it was time, I'd come to the end of the plateau. And I have, coming down another four pounds in the last few weeks.

A pound a week is not crazy at any size. What is crazy is clinging to unreasonable expectations of rapid weight loss and allowing yourself to become discouraged because you aren't meeting unrealistic goals. Regroup, reorganize, breath deep, and enjoy the journey. After all, you've got to make the trip one step at a time; may as well smell as many roses along the way as you can.

i feel the same way i have only lost 3 lbs since my banding and i felt it should come off alot faster
