Hey everyone I really really want to lose 15 more pounds by Christmas Eve. I just wanna look great when I go back home to California. Do you guys think this is a realistic goal or am I setting my self up for failure??

I think its realistic. You have 5 weeks. Just stay focused. I would like to lose 40 bye christmas, but I know this is probably wishful thinking. Good Luck to you!!

Consultation: May 19, 2008

Banded 8/27/08

1 st fill: 10/4/08

2 nd fill: 11/3/08

How much have you lost so far? I was banded August 21, 2008 and have lost 25 pounds.

I would say that it would probably be possible...thats 3 pounds a week. How fast are you losing right now? Have you had fills already? Do you have any ore scheduled before then? I think all of these things would be factors. I'm not currently losing that fast...only about 1.5 - 2 lbs a week but I'm sure if I really tried I could bump it up to 3 pounds. Good luck to you!!

I lost 31 since surgery. I'm going back on Monday for a weigh in. I have 2cc's in a 10cc band.
