If you have lost 62 lbs, you are doing great. My dr. said weight loss would be slow for me because I started at 212 and weight loss is slower for people with a starting BMI of under 40. I lost 22 the first 4 weeks when I was on the liquid diet, and it's taken me 5 months to lose 20 more. I am doing all liquids this week in hopes of breaking through this plateau.

I was banded on the same day as you were Emmy and it is going real slow for me now too, if there is something out there to speed us up I would love to hear it too!

Exercise is the key I think. It makes a huge difference for me.

You should join in on the challenge, 900 minutes of exercise for the month of July. I was doing 100 minutes daily but that slowed down for a bit but hopefully I'll be able to do it again soon on a daily basis.

I will let you know if it helps. If I drink only Protein Drinks, it has to help, because the calories will be much less. If I do the Atkins Protein drinks, they are 160 per can. If I mix powder with Water, it's only 120 per drink. I can get by with 4 per day and not be hungry. I don't know if I can give up my sugar free fudgesicle though. It's only 40 calories. Plus I did an hour of cardio today.

Hey fellow December gals do any of you have trouble with tomatoes? I have a million of them from the garden and I love fresh tomatoes but they seem to be giving me trouble. My husband made me a salad and he peeled the tomatoe and it seemed to have helped but I don't know if it is in my head that it helped , I thought maybe if I asked yall someone may have had problems too. Thanks !

I have heard of several people that say they have problems with tomatoes. For some it gives them heartburn but most of them complain that the skin gets stuck.

My problem is blueberries, wow... they hurt.

Well I guess it is peeling for me, I love them too much to give them up for good, thanks Wasa!!

I've been known to sit down with a jar of salsa and a spoon. :) Tomatoes are soooo good!

No, I am glad I don't have any trouble with them. Anything

I eat goes down just fine, as long as I chew it well, and

wait before taking another tiny bite.

Well I can't give em up,lol . when my husband peeled that one I didnt have any problem so I guess I will live,lol. We just planted a large garden year and have tomatoes coming out of our butts so I hate to waste free food. Wasa, I love salsa too and I am glad you said that, I know where to get the stuff at Walmart to make it and lord knows I have enough tomatoes! I have been giving them to all the neighbors and now I know what to do with them, it takes alot of them to make it and I can get some of them out of my kitchen, Thanks!

OK, I have lost 24 lbs since December and the more I dont loose the more bummed and disgusted I get and then what do I do? Eat creme puffs and eclairs and crap I know I am not to eat. The sweet tooth is making this band not work and I am so angry with myself.

Getting on here and reading others posts has sort of got me motivated to quit eating wrong and do better. I am going to start eating the proper food ie: Proteins and stop the blubbering cremepuff drama! I am going to do this!

Now will everyone post to me to tell me to do it right and not feel sorry formyself and just eat correctly!

mel,

you can do it. But is your band helping you enough, do you have enough of a fill? I just got what i think may be the perfect fill and it is dramatic. Go see your doctor and talk about it.

Mel, at least you know why you aren't losing. I am not losing

and I am doing everything they tell me to do.

I get to thinking I might as well eat some Cookies or brownies

or whatever I want because I am not losing anyway. But then

I know I will just gain weight if I do that.

I wish the band worked the same for everyone.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
