okay, i'm 8 months out and i've only lost 45lbs. I'm exercising and doing all i'm suppose to but I've come to a stand still. Nothing is coming off. I'm proud of the weight i've lost, and i'm exciting abt wearing smaller clothes. Any suggestions on how to get the last 30lbs off??? and cold weather is coming worried i'll put some of the weight back on....

im 7 months out, and have only lost 45lbs. I go see the doctor every 6wks, and she wasn't to happy with my weight lose. She put me thru the grinder trying to find out what i was eating. I'm eating what i'm suppose to and exerciseing. No Junk! I've gone thru alot to get where i'm at now. And she just made me feel really bad bc i only lost 2lbs in 6wks. but i do feel great, i've gone from 270 lbs to 225. So, what i was wondering is there a slowing down period or do i need to get another fill bc 6wks ago i opted not to get a one.

i went and visited some of my friends and they all know i've had the band done. So, they were all like, how come you haven't lost like 50lbs already. Good Freak'n grief people, i've already lost 35 and i'm pretty dang excited abt it. And you wanna rain on my parade!! I guess what they don't realize is that i didn't get fat over night. It took years for me to get this big, and its gonna take some work and big effort on my part to get it all off. Yea, i wish it would all just come off so easily but its not. I gotta work at it and with the band, its not so hard. So, while my friends stuff there faces with burgers and fries and drink tons of soda. I'll be xtremly happy with small salad. I'll have my water in an hour. LOL bc sooner or later its all gonna catch up with ya. Then you'll have a big caboose and i'll be slim, fit and ready to take on the world! LOL

how many cc's for restriction 14cc
ru4ou replied to Alfie's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
i also have a 14cc band, and i went in for my 2nd fill. I know i barely have anything in there bc the dr made a remark abt how i don't have much in there. I haven't felt any restriction. But i follow my food list and eat 3 meals of 4 ozs a day and No snacking. I'm wonderin if i'm wired weird. Bc i'm actually kinda scared of feeling the restriction. I've heard if you get to much, you'll burp up that spit like stuff and it hurts like hell. Hmmmmmmm.... -
my dr is giving me a little bit a time also. I feel its better to be safe than sorry. I'm on my 2nd fill, and so far are reaping the benefits. I wish u lots of luck on your journey.

Great Job! Keep up the good work! I'm sure its nothing with the pains. I still have a little pain where the dr inserted the needle.

i had my 2nd fill today. And where the dr stuck me, still hurts a bit. Im on track so im told. my band holds 14cc's and i have 3 cc's now. Im doing really good with my band. I need to bump up the exerice program but i have my days when i just feel really lazy. How abt yourself, how r u doing with exercise? When will u go in for a fill? must let me know how it goes.
