taking forever to lose the weight...

[SUEBDOO 0]

Just feeling frustrated. I had my surgery in Feb.2011 and still not in the "zone". I have had several fills and still rarely feel restriction. If I could just feel and stay full Maybe things would go a little faster. If just relying on myself to stop eating was enough I would not have had to have the surgery. I feel kinda whiney but it just seems that by now it would really start kicking in, the band I mean....

36 pounds since Feb is AWESOME !!! I have lost 54 since Dec 10 and am beside myself with joy...imagine if you didnt have the band....I know I would have gained at least 20 instead of losing....I wish you the best

Well, it sounds like you need another fill. Or you can try more filling foods as in high Fiber foods like bananas or yams. I have also found that working out really brings down the scale faster. I'm not talking daily but just three days a week helps me. Good luck

36 pounds since FEb? Thats great! I know you want it faster but you are doing awesome. I was banded 8/30/10 and I've lost 86 pounds. I am down to a size 42 pant from a 56. I hope to be down 100 pounds by my bandiversary. Hang tough! Your doing great.

I got a .25 ml fill today. Surgeon asked why I only lost 1.5 pounds over the last month.I did not have a good reason for him..... I exercise 30 minutes every day. My main problem is with the evening snacking. I dont eat any "unhealthy" food at all. But I def have been having problems with satiety in the evening. Well, hopefully todays fill will help in the lonnnng fight loss.
