What a great accomplishment!! Keep up the great work and you will get to your goal...

I feel exactly the way you do too! I can't seem to get the wt. off fast enough. It gets very discouraging especially when you are trying so hard. But I know in the long run it will eventually come off. But I think you are doing a great job so keep it up and I will too!!!

I'm about 6 months out as well and have hit a plateau also. We can work it out though ... and I have to keep reminding myself that this is weight that I wasnt losing before .. but now I am at least losing! Good luck!

Im almost 7 months in and Ive lost 29 lbs. This band is soooo finicky and this process is soooo slow! Because Im not very restricted ( by choice since I had something get stuck and had to have an unfill) I dont always make the best food choices. I have found I am able to eat much more than I should. My workouts are good...but unless I eat under 800 cals and work out 1.5 hours a day.... I dont lose any weight. Doc says it will take me 2 years to lose te weight I want to. Im a size 12 so I guess I cant complain too much. Best to you!

Great story and great weight loss. We were banded at about the same time and I'm right there with you. You've lost a little more than me but that's becuase I still endulge in cookies & chips (i'm working on it). At Kelly111 800 calories may not be enough food for you. If you don't enough your body will go into starvation mode. Try bumping up to 1000 calories a day and see what happens. My nutritionist/doctor recommends 1200 per day.

Thank you all for the support. This site has truly been a wonderful source of support! best of luck to you all!
