i had lap-band with plication 2/8/13 and i have battled with my weight for a long time so far ive lost 45lbs, its kinda slowed down but i am determined to win this battle...

Yes you will!

Thank you for the encouragement, lord knows i need it...i was banded 2-8-13 and just decided to join this site today.......

It doesn't matter how fast or slow you're losing, all that matters is the fact you are losing.

Hope all your hard work keeps paying off for you!

One day at a time ! One pound at a time !

YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

We all understand how hard it is, or we wouldn't be here, so chin up. You are NOT alone. I felt that way for a long time. So speak up, vent, yell if need be and we will be there to help:)

Everyone thank you sooo very much for the words of encouragment, good to hear from ppl who are walking a mile in my shoes, glad to hear im not alone, and 1lb at a time and one day at a time, boy i needed every word you all gave me thanks and good luck with your journey also, its only been a few months, and i am learning what is best and not so good for me as far as eating,

For me...sometimes it's one meal at a time. You can do this.....patience is the key!

You can do anything you want to do!!!! Anyone can!! Congrats!!!

You have a lot of support here so welcome. I'm struggling now but this forum support has kept me going. We all have a common bond and that surely brings us closer together.

I am new to this....banded 3/13/2013....my weight lost has been very slow I have lost 30 lbs. I have had two fills but I am not at my green zone cause I am still hungry and feel no restriction at all......I am afraid of failure.

sallie you wont fail, this is a very slow process, i thought i would have lost more, i was banded in 2-8-13 ive lost 45lbs, and it seems like nothing else has happened, im fearful also, but we have come so far now to quit, hold on it will get better
