Because that is what I have lost since surgery (1/24/05) and I think I should have lost more. I had one fill 2 weeks ago and since then l lost about 4 lbs (in the first few days post fill) nothing lost since then.

I couldn't have said it any better! You are doing an excellent job!

I had my surgery on 01/07/05 and I am down 23.5, you are doing really good!

At first I was kind of upset because I was expecting to lose faster but hey I am going down and not up. Also I see that inches go way faster than the pounds!!

here is a parallel thread on this same topic! http://lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=5639&page=1&pp=15

I'd be happy with over 11 pounds a month... hell yeah!

Ditto to what everyone said. You're doing GREAT.

Exactly what I would have said. There is no reason at all to be unhappy with that rate of loss!! Great job!!! :)

EXCELLENT!! I went to a weight loss camp for 9 weeks last summer and was a bit like you in thinking it wasnt enough.. quick enough-wrong.You are doing fabulous-just look at the long term.Keep it up.

11.25 lbs a month,thats a loss of over 2 lbs aweek You bet I would be happy!

Average weight loss with the band is 1-3 lbs a week. Looks like you are above average. Great Job, do not be discouraged by this at all. Be Proud!!

Keep up the great work... btw you will plateau and loose and plateau and loose. It seems to be the pattern.

Wow that is wonderful, I was banded on Nov. 4 and have lost about that amount, so you are doing just great, wish I could lose weight that fast. What do you eat on an average day? You know I think my problem is that I'm not eating enough, I'm starting to look sick to people. Four people asked me if I was feeling okay today, that for sure is a sign that I look like shit. In the last two days I have been able to eat a little bit more, hopefully I can start eating healthier and feeling better.

I would be kissing the ground and screaming in delight...err...heh its great.

are you kidding? i would be doing the booty shakin dance all day! (hmmm, that probably would be good exercise, hmmm)

That is fantastic. Remember band people loose more slowly than gastric bypass people. This is actually a good thing. Your skin will retain it elasticity better. 34LBS WOOHOO! Way to go girl!

I agree with all of the above, you are really doing great. I'm losing slowly too, and I don't have the loose skin I might have if my loss had been faster. Just think, without the band, it could easily be 34 lbs going the other way on the scale! Smile! You're a loser, and I'm very proud of all us losers!!
