5 weeks out and starting to see results!

[betheboo 40]

So as of yest I am five weeks out and down 24 pounds!!!! Yippie I haven't gotten back in the gym yet (I am walking to work though)... but I am diligently counting my calories and recently bought a body bugg to help me get a better idea of my daily burn. I was feeling very frustrated my first few weeks because I wasn't losing but around week 4 the weight just started falling off! I work so hard to watch what I eat, if I would have done this before maybe I wouldn't have needed the surgery! lol But the band helps me feel full on less so I am thankful. My first fill is next week

You are doing great! You have lost just about 5 pounds a week! That is awsome. I highly reccomend excersise. That's great your walking to work. It took me 3-4 months after surgery to get to the gym. It really does help with weight loss and so many other benefits. Keep up the good work!

Tomorrow ill be 5 weeks out from surgery and I have not lose anything for the last 3 weeks. I lost 16 lbs in the first 2 weeks and since then NOTHING! I would like to know what your eating within a day and how many calories your consuming?

Im getting very frustrated because im eating right (1100-1300 calories per day), exercising (at least an hour 6 days a week) and tracking all my calories and daily intake and still nothing. Then everyone tells me to hang in there, i'm trying but I feel like I felt before surgery that no matter what diet i was on i eventually failed and gave up because i wasnt seeing results. I know everyone says that you have to work with your band, but I am and nothing is happening.

No, my first fill is scheduled for May 21st. But i've been told that it wont really help much. I guess I'm just scared now because I think ahead and dont see how having restriction will help much if im really trying to stay between the 1100-1300 calories.

Great job - keep up the good work! The band works!

I didn't notice any difference until my 3rd fill so don't get discouraged.

I just past 4 weeks and will be 5 weeks on Thursday. I am hoping that I will start back up with the losing. I know what everyone says that you wont start losing again until maybe after the 6 weeks or after your first (or 5th) fill. But it is kinda frustrating getting thru those weeks of nothing.

I am keeping my calorie intake at 1200 or so (went to 1400 today though). There are certain days that I am not hungery at all and there are days (like today) that I feel like I need a little more or want a little more. I am still working on the head thing and not to try to eat when I dont think I need it.

Congrats on your loss. Keep up the good work.

Thanks everyone! I feel great! Got my first fill a couple of days ago and I need to learn to slow down my eating again! lol I didn't realize how loose my band was until I saw that barium flying thru... a little 3 cc's in and I'm nice and snug
