hey all....just had my 5 month post op weigh in. i've lost 77 lbs now, but i cried. i'm being too hard on myself and i logically know that, so why cant i stop?! thats just not good enough for me!! so, i got another fill too, and now i have 9 cc's. i think i need to go to support groups again....ok, thanks for listening!

I think you are doing awesome! To loose 77 lbs in 5 months is really great!

77 pounds in 5 months - that's fabulous!

There are a lot of slow losers (such as myself) who would be walking on the clouds if we reached that kind of goal...but I realize everyone is starting from different places.

I hope you reach a weight loss rate that satisfies you. Take care.

My mouth dropped when I seen your results!! You should have happy tears!!

Congratulations on the weight loss! This band stuff can be an emotional roller coaster for sure. If you don't get what you need from the boards here ..... Go to in person meetings. Its amazing what a friend with the same issue can do for you

I am hoping that I will continue to lose so I can have results like yours. That is wonderful. Please stop crying and pat yourself on the back. Go buy a new outfit and Celebrate your weight loss. You have done an amazing job.

Are you kidding me? You were disappointed at losing 77 pounds in 5 months?

I swear to you that I have a friend who lost 30 lbs. in 5 months! So count your blessings my friend.

You are doing awesome! Keep up the good work!

I definitely understand how EASY it is to be Really REALLY hard on ourselves. We sort of have this image and vision of accomplishments in a certain, distinct time frame. I think it's time to SMASH IT! and be super proud of what you have done! HOnestly, I would KILLLL to have lost that much in 5 months.

I am 8 months post-op and only have lost 54 lbs. My goal is 90 lbs. I don't know what your goals are, but you should really take a step back and appreciated everything you have done so far!

AWESOME !!!
