So from time to time I think its human nature to get discouraged and feel like the lbs just won't come off (I know Ive been there plenty of times) so I think to help with this a good thing to do is to look back to where you were before you had your surgery! COMPARE-and remember you're way better off today than you were then!!!!

Besides the scale what has changed in your life since the lapband?!

My wife had her first fill sat. in Mexico. She was starting to get discouraged because the scales haven't moved much in a couple of weeks. I reminded her she has lost about 40 lbs. overall. I told her even though the scales haven't moved doesn't mean she's not loosing inches. Already from a size 22 to a 16.

To put things in perspective, I read where a man said If you only loose 1 pound a week thats great.

TAKE A POUND OF GREASE AND PUT IT IN A PAN AND MELT IT. LET IT COOL AND THAT'S WHAT LOOSING A POUND OF FAT LOOKS LIKE

OK going from 22 to 16 is GREAT!!!!!! MUCHO congrats for her!!! How is she doing with her fill??

I dont know about melting the grease...lol cuz I think I'll have this horrible mental pic of that being what my insides look at...LOL
