i would say if you are losing, its a great thing

regardless of how much.....(also inches lost also mean losing real/actual weight)

great job

We have the same stats and you lost more than me so I think you are on the right track..

I am tickled for you to have lost that much and it looks like something positive is happening for YOU! Keep up the good work. I lost at that rate at first then slowed down. I go to a support group monthly and some people really vary in this. It seems the bypass type surgery might be a bit faster for some. YOU can do it! Happy you are in the club!

I am astounded at your weight loss! I had surgery in September and I have not lost one pound. My doctor is sooooo conservative with the fills, I feel no different. Same old struggle. Is it the restriction that you feel is resulting in your successes? Is it lack of hunger? Were you all big eaters before? So discouraged.

EMMS, Don't give up. The struggle you are having may resolve if you get more fill. I did not take but 2 but a friend of mine had the 6th one before she felt a thing and now a year later... she is down 100 lb. Individuals are so different. I feel restriction. Not sure if that is what everyone feels. I had never known full until my second fill. I call my lapband my full button. Keep tabs with your DR. and follow your meal plan. Hope you get some results!

I think your weight loss is right on track. We will all loose at different rates due to a lot of different reasons. Remember healthy weight loss is not a race and don't judge yourself by anybody else's numbers. Instead focus on how you are feeling physically and enjoy the changes your body is going through. Congrats on this big step to take back your life

I think really and my Doctor said the same thing once I got down to my goal weight he set me at which was 190 and I actually got down to 185 "awesome" right ? Sadly no, for me I was a large man all my life and when i reached the 185 mark, really looked like I was using drugs. I even was drug tested a few times from my employer > guess they had thoughts of me on something ? Anyways, I actually work towards gaining a little weight just to look and feel healthy. That is what the weight loss surgery's are for to get your body to a healthy way of living. So with that I gained 30 pounds just to look normal and not all bones at the beach. funny how I use to be bullied all my life for being Fat and when I got so skinny, I was being picked on like I was skin and bones. Ah the way life sends you humor.

I had my surgery September 29th my start weight 185 and now am 175. I lost that before having surgery. But at least am not gaining but it's very frustrating that am eating snd exercising like am suppose. Not going to give up.

i would say that is great you dont want to lose too much too fast and for me i didint loose anything the first 3 months until the dr found the sweet spot with the fills
