Fustrated with lack of weight loss

Ok, I got to put my 2cents in, first of all the weight loss you have or will have is no different than when you were on a strict diet pre banding (we all have been on those). You will lose quickly in the beginning then slow down and stall etc. THE BIG DIFFERENCE IS THAT YOU WON'T BE STARVING like you were with the strict diets we have all been on in the past. Give your body time to heal from the surgery, get the fills when needed and do your part - you will get to goal.

Well I had my surgery on May 12th 2011 and started my pre op diet on March 14th 2011, up until the surgery I had lost 46lbs in around two months and since the surgery I have lost 26 more lbs. My only problem is that I haven't lost a pound in over a week and drives me a little crazy but that's how it goes sometimes you will level off and sometimes loose inches and not lbs. I have lost about 2 pant sizes but I also have went from a 4x to a 2x in shirts. So keep your head up everyone we will get there!!

That is totally something to think about. I forgot, didn't want to know, whatever you want to call it, to take measurements prior to surgery, so I only have them now. But I have dropped 2 pant sizes and have gone to a 2x shirt from a 4x as well and that alone speaks volumes! It was a great feeling going out to get some shorts and asking the girl to find them in a smaller size. I look forward to the day being able to walk into any store and no that they will have my size! Sorry old navy your about to loose a "BIG" customer!
