Well today is two months since being banded & I've lost 27 lbs. A lot of people have lost more but I'm making progress & that's what counts for me. I started this journey to lose weight but also to gain back my independence. I haven't been able to walk for more than 3 minutes at a time for almost a year & a half. I got the H1N1 flu & was hospitalized for a week. When I came home it was another 10 days before I had the strength to do much walking. When I did my back felt like it was going to explode. Short version of story after every Neuroscience Specialist, MRI & test available, more injections to the spine than a porcupine :ohmy:, physical therapy & gaining 61 lbs. on a already chunky body...phew! I decided to pay for the LAP-BAND® (Ins. wouldn't cover) myself. It's a gamble to see if this is weight related but I'll feel better regardless. I'm already moving around better & I went back to physical therapy today. My clinic has a pool with a treadmill built in the bottom. They lower the water for me & I jog on it for 30 minutes. In the water I'm fine & in no pain:confused: this leads me to believe it could be a weight issue. Well whatever it is I'm not giving up with out a fight. I'm only 55 years old & I have a lot of living left to do!

I hope everybody goes out today & makes it the Best Day possible! :smile:

I am right there with you at 2 months today. My weight loss is very close to your loss at 32 lbs. Keep on working hard! It will come off.

You are doing so remarkably well. You cannot compare yourself with anyone else because we all have different weight issues. Some have more to lose, some less. Some take medications that make it a little more difficult. Some of us are able to go to the gym and workout and some are more limited. What ever you do, as long as that scale is working in your favor. you are winning! You go girl and keep it up.
