Let's start a new thread that tracks our progress. It would be nice to see everyone on one list.

Let's use pounds lost to date and percent of total weight lost (what you lost divided by what you weighed at the start) and BMI. Doing the math will be good for us.

I'll kick it off.

Name............Lbs Lost........% of wgt lost.......BMI

Foofy..............37.5..................14%.................38

Am I the only Nymph who feels like she's stalled out a bit? I just realized that the last time I posted my weight change was on 8/11....and I still weigh the same amount! Actually, some days I weight a couple of pounds more!!!!

I had to get an unfill on 7/31 because the slight fill I got on 7/3 was just a little too much. Now I'm at a point where I've only gotten stuck like once a month, but I'm eating a TON more. Like, I am almost shocked at the amount I've been able to eat. I've also been eating a little more ice cream lately. I know it's bad, and I need to stop. I REALLY need to stop. So, really I guess it's time for another fill, so I can resume weight loss. But for some reason I'm reluctant.

What are the other Nymphs' experiences with this?????

I don't have much retriction right now and I'm doing the same thing. As I was rebanded in July I'm in a different position to you but the end result is the same, no weight loss for some time. I have another fill on 1 Oct so I'm hoping that it will help.

Apart from the first month of this process, my weight loss has been really slow. It comes in little stair steps. I lost 5 pounds the week after my last fill, and I haven't lost a thing in the last 5 weeks.

My theory is that the big jumps are water weight, and then the lulls are the water coming back while the fat is slowly leaving. So, while it looks like nothing is happening on the scale, I am actually losing fat. That story keeps me sane, so I am sticking to it.

I'm still trying to figure out how to work the band optimally. If I let myself, I could eat over 2,000 calories in a day - band or no band. However, the slowness of eating with the band lets me stop myself at around 1200. I wish I could put that mental break on a little sooner, but, that's life. In the big scheme of things, it will not matter that it took me two years instead of one to get the weight off. For me, the accomplishment is in getting to a reasonable weight and staying there.

I just got a small unfill of the .25 that was put in 10 days ago. Since the fill, I have only been able to eat foods that are as mushy as baby food. I got stuck on anything else. I think I am capped out now at 7.25cc and would lose at a consistent pace if I make good food choices. I'm almost halfway to goal. Time to get real if I want to get the rest off by next summer.

Thanks for the responses. Definitely soothes me some to know I'm not the only one!

So happy to report I've hit the 80 lb mark today! BTW, I DON'T list my BMI or % of weight lost because it is NOT motivating to me! I just like looking at the plain old pounds dropping off.
