Well,,, all I can say is it's S L O W!!!

On one hand, I'm sad that it's not going faster, but on the other hand, I'm eating ice cream and chocolate way too much sometimes. It's hard to break 19 years of bad eating habits and the band doesn't curb those cravings. If I had given MORE thought to getting a more detail surgery, I might have considered the sleeve. But it is what it is and at least I'm going in the right direction,,, be it slow or quick,,, I'll get there,,, by October of this year, if I want to be at my goal, I need to buckle down and try to get 13 pounds per month off. I can do it IF I work out! Wish me luck!!!!

I definitely know where you are coming from...I was banded Sept. 18th 2009 and have lost 34lbs....so mine is super slow too....but like you, it's hard at times to change years of old habits. So I've eaten chocolate and ice cream (although I've stayed away from pop)....so I'm buckeling down on myself too. Good luck to you and we both can do this!!!!

DITO!!! i got my band in Sept 09 and have lost 35lbs. I still have zero restriction even after my 3rd fill.So i am guessing i am not at my sweet spot. I am eating way to much i know it.Its hard to break habits and when you have 3 small kids that are constantly asking for snack it makes it a little harder to fight the cravings.

Good lucck and keep it up!!
