It just takes time; you have to be patient and work really, really hard. Maybe in a year from now I can look back and reflect on this journey. When were you banded and how has it been going for you thus far?

Hi! I was banded December 9th, 2010 and so far it has been quite a struggle. I've been heavy all of my life and I just knew this would be the solution. To me, personally, the weight isnt coming off as easily as I thought it would and I find myself watching everything I eat. According to others, I have lost a good amount of weight (33 pounds), but I thought I would be further along by now.

December 2010 Bandsters out there?
cnsmith replied to GardenGal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for the encouragment and the advice. I'll try to probably eat less and excercise more. This change of life is becoming more and more like a diet to me. I cut carbs completely about 2 weeks ago and still no significant change. I will try to be more patient and work harder at it. I had no idea this was going to be so difficult for me. -

Congradulations to everyone and their success thus far. I was banded on December 9, 2010 and have lost around 30 pounds. At this point, I am pretty frustrated with the band, conscience eating, constant exercising and zero weight loss. I have been stuck at this point with no weight loss for about 6 weeks now. I'm to the point where I want to pretty much stop eating altogether to see if that will make the scale go down. When someone has struggled with their weight since the age of 7, diet rollercoasters and fluctuating weight is the norm; I don't want it to be the norm anymore. Is there anything that I could be doing to speed up this process? I'm currently intaking on average 1000 calories per day with excercise 3-5 days out of the week for at least 45 minutes. I have a 14cc band and I am currently around 8.4cc I believe. HELP!!! -
