Anniversaries and weightloss ?

[jdulac 0]

Hi everyone. I was just wondering. Most of the posts I read make reference to their weightloss in relation to their surgery date. However most people say they didn't really lose much until they got to the "sweet spot" with their fills. So for example if someone loses 100lbs in 1 year (which is awesome) is it really like 10 months since most drs don't fill until 6 weeks then it takes a few to get restriction?

Just a thought. Not sure. I am just thinking it is awesome all the great results you all that are ahead of me have had.

Hi! I know what you mean. I felt sort of like a failure because my surgery was 7/3/09 but I didn't get to my "sweet spot" until 4/15/10. Consequently, I'm more than 1 year post-op and I've only lost 32 pounds. However, we do really need to realize that until we achieve good restriction, our bands don't really help us much. We also have to know that we have to WORK at this - it's not a quick-fix. The band won't do this all by itself! I'm very proud of my weight loss and proud that I'm living a MUCH healthier lifestyle than I did a year ago. I'll get there (hoping for a total loss of 100 pounds) in my own time. Good luck! :scared2:
