I had my surgery last year, (August 2013) and of last Monday, February 17th, had only lost 30 pounds. Had another fill last Monday. Definitely feel restriction now. Started watching my carb intake very, very, closely. Have lost 5.5 pounds since last Monday ; ) For some reason, it all clicks now. The food intake, protein, exercise & no carbs!!! I'm very happy & ready to get the rest of my weight off......

Congrats !!!

I'm so pleased when I read that banded people find their way to success!

I also had my surgery in August of 2013 and so far am down only 33 pounds. I thought this was very slow progress but friends on this site told me they thought that was good progress. I have since decided to stay off the scales and just go by the way my clothes are fitting since working out leads to muscle gain and muscle weights more than fat. I think you are doing just fine. Just don't get disappointed and give in. Eventually you WILL win! Good luck and stay strong.

Just curious...how many CC's in your lapband now. We got fills on the same day:) got our surgery in the same month and have lost the same amount of weight.

Thank you Rosettag & SlowJourney!!!

SlowJourney, I missed a class before my surgery (didn't get all the information I needed to prepare me for after the surgery) & was on mostly liquids until December. It wasn't until the receptionist in the office & I were talking...come to find out, I wasn't feeling satisfied, along with getting fills. I'm at 7cc, I believe... Hang in there! I keep telling myself, 'Slowly but surely'... You are doing great!!! Thank you! You also stay strong!! We both will WIN!!!!

I was wondering where all the August 2013 banders were? Welcome. We should start an August 2013 thread.....
