I started out my journey at 260 lbs size 28. I am 15 months out now and in a comfortable 14. YEA!!!! HOWEVER I'm always beating up on myself (going to a weight loss support group meeting this am), compairing myself to others that have had the surgery, wondering why they look better than me etc... Just makes me want to cry. At this point I find I'm mourning my food. Won't go to social events because "others" can eat and I can't....ughhhhh Any help out there???

I was banded 1/31/07. So far only lost 40 pounds.. should i be freaking out or what??? Just don't feel that fast enough!:angry

:)I too was going through some of my old posts, and Its so easy to get discouraged when the scales not moving. In the old dieting days without the band, I would just give up, and put more on than i started with, but with this band, it absolutely will not allow that to happen. Today is 12/12/07, and I finanlly hit 189 lbs! I am sooo happy. Everyone asks me how I'm loosing so much weight. Its finally nice to be noticed for the good, and not because "you've gained so much weight", as in the past. Its a great feeling. Still having ALOT of problems eating though. Can't seem to keep anything in. Doing alot of PBing! Just had my band loosening and still the same.. I am at 2.5 filled on a 4cc band. not to much, right? Can anyone help?

Thank you all for your resposes. I posted this orginal thread on 6/26/07. Now today 9/23/07, I am happy to report, I have passed my 1st goal, of being off the 200's... I am 198 as of this morning. I started my journey at 260 lbs.. so down 62 lbs... I have joined curves, staying active.. and now can actually start feeling my "bones"...yea!

Thank you all for your input. Was reading lots of posts where people were loosing so much more, that I was beginning to wonder. I Guess things are pretty good after all. YEA! THANKS ALOT FOR YOUR REPLIES!!

Thank you so much for your reply. Although I am feeling a little discouraged that my weight loss has kinda stopped for about a month now, your reply was very encouraging. THANKS!!
