October 2010 Bandsters!!

[texasdream 0]

I was banded October 29th and had my first follow up appointment on November 12th. I have lost 14 lbs so far (as of the 12th) and while I should be happy with that, so many people on here lost so much more. I am trying hard not to compare my experience with other peoples experiences, but it is a little disappointing when I know that I didn't cheat at all and I am still continuing as directed. I can start exercising on Friday (19th) which I am actually looking forward to. Me next appointment is December 10th and I hoping to be down at least 30lbs total by then. We will see. How is everyone else doing on their journey?

Texasdream, don't worry too much about your weight loss. I was banded on10/18 and I have only lost 21 lbs.. It was discouraging until I realized that's not too bad and it's not going away overnite (but I wish). I've not been able to walk like I should and that is a disadvantage. So, if you're not walking, and you can, get out and walk a little every day until you can work up to about an hour. Take care. Blessings, PitPat

Texasdream try not to get discouraged, I know how you feel but I read alot of people dont really start losing until restriction comes back into play. Just try to eat right and stay on course until it happens...this too shall pass:smile2:
