Now that we are all getting used to the band and all-should we keep our own list of weight lost? Just for sept bandsters? I know there is one in the main forum but thought it would be inspiring to have one of our own.. we can just add our name and total weight lost.. I will start...then lets say around the 1st of each month we can update the list by copying the last post-.. add your updated total and keep it going...please make sure it is the last one or else someone's results may not be accurate...

Stacy 73.....38lbs

Pleae update me to 16. Thanks!!

Remember to copy the full list of names and then add yours to the bottom or update your weight. It will help keep everyone's entry included. Thanks Stacy73 for starting the thread.

I was banded 9/28 by Dr. Spivak. Went in for my first fill on October 25, couldn't get the needle in the port. Told me to wait 2 weeks and come back, or when I could eat a full lean cuisine meal come back! I'm not happy about it either!!!

Hey, guys-great job this month-fyi.. I will start a new thread on Thursday for the new month... if that sounds ok to everyone- I started a spreadsheet for the Finer Niners-as soon as I figure it out I will add it to my signature so you can all access it down the line. I will keep it going every month so we can track our weight loss to goal. Everyone keep up the good work-we will all get there!!

5 weeks today and 40 pounds gone forever

Like I really feel sooooo bad, after surgery on 9/5/07 my weight was about 216. I am 210 now. I can't lose any weight and have had 3(SMALL) fills. My doctor does not want to tell me how much he is putting in, but I think each time that i have gone he has put .5cc. I read that one person had 4cc in one fill. What is my doctor waiting on? I am so tired of him telling me that"it's going to come off" . This is crazy!!! .5cc He is losing his mind. I think I have been patient enough. Nov 5 will be 2 months, It's time for me to lose the darn weight!!

Red...I don't want to sound like I am preaching, but I guess if I have to say that, then I am. You have to make a decision to take a life-altering path. I understand you are frustrated, and I don't expect everyone to have the results I've had, but a couple of things to keep in mind:

1. You cannot NOT lose weight, if you follow the doctor's food guideline. You'll only be able to take in about 1k in calories a day, and I don't care if you're Ashley Olsen and sit on a couch all day, you will lose weight taking in that many calories a day.

2. If not already, exercise. Burn 300-500 calories a day, and combine that with about 2000 calories for your BMR, and you could eat 2300-2500 calories a day and not gain a pound.

I lost 27 pounds before my first fill (2.5 weeks after surgery) and as of last Thursday (will weigh again tonight) I have lost an additional 10 pounds. Granted my results are probably not typical, but even 50% of my results should be. It can be done. I have faith in you.

Redgirl...I agree with Kagoscuba-also, your fills seem to be modest compared to others-ask your dr how much you have-or request the records- I have heard some drs are more aggressive than others-it may take some time but you will definitely lose- (weight, that is)-my loss has been slow for the last month- I have lost about 6 lbs in one month-which I guess is normal-but some others lose faster-I lost most of mine pre-op and right after surgery.Just take a couple deep breaths, one day at a time-this is a journey-if there is anything you need, let me know!!
