I can't seem to decide... somedays I feel like I'm doing well and somedays I can't seem to understand why I haven't lost more weight. Since 2/1 (the day I started my low carb pre op diet) I've lost 33 pounds. I feel like this isn't enough, and I've seen others lose more quickly.

I'm having a hard time adjusting my eating habits and behaviors. I STILL love you eat. My biggest problem is eating out. Even though I don't eat as MUCH, I still eat, and when I want more I drink with my meal.

I just had my second fill, which helped, and I got for a third in about three weeks...

Can anyone tell me... am I on target? My doctor says I'm doing well, but I just don't feel like I am today!

You have done tremendous -- so far over achiever!

Please don't base your success on how fast or slow others are losing. Everyone loses differently. The band was designed for us to lose a healthy 1-2 pounds per week. Based upon that, you are doing outstanding.

I think this is exactly what I needed to hear. I just have good days and bad days I guess. Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. I think I need to really address the emotional aspects of losing weight. :-)

You're right 33 lbs ain't that bad. There's no way I would be down to this weight without the band. In fact, I'd probably would have put on 10 more pounds. lol

Thanks.

33 lbs ain't bad --- That is not what we said - we said TREMENDOUS!

Have a good night - hugs!

you seem like you know what you are talking about
