Me-Feb 2010 - Down about 75 pounds.

WoW!!!! You look awesome congrats on your success. Im just starting out banded 1/12/10 Im so in need of a fill. How did you do your first month just curious. I lost 13lbs but gained 3 back so Im starting to worry any advice?

First month I lost 10, 2nd month gained 4 or 6 back...can't remember exactly! But hang in there! Everyone is different. I lost less than 30 pounds the first 6 months...luckily I have hung in there. Very satisfied at this point. Stick with it--Eat right and exercise. I have to admit that at first I thought I could eat anything (because I was eating less) and didn't exercise regularly. When I became accountable with food intake and exercise (with good restriction of course) my weight loss immediately took off! Good luck to you. Keep me posted with your progress. (Oh...I had to stay off the boards for a while because I was getting discouraged seeing everyone elses fast loss--don't torture yourself too much.)

you look great!!! I am 4 months out and have lost 32kbs since last Feb. The weight is coming off slowly but i know i have to be patient... i keep a food diary and worl out 3 times a week.how many fills have you had? are you at your sweet spot?

I can totally relate to you & what you've said.I experienced the same thing as far as thinking you could eat whatever u want just less!! You've done great!! But glad to hear I'm not the only slow loser!!

You look awesome! I did the samething stay off the boards because I was a slow loser! Your story sounds just like mine... But you look amazing and keep Rock it!

You are looking GREAT! I was wondering how hard was it with food for you two week post-op. I am in the process soon to get the surgery and was wondering about that.
