Not Losing Weight

NewSho · February 1, 2006

Oh yeah, walk a mile in my stilettos, LOL.

If one more person tells me "but you don't have that much more weight to lose" I will consider decking them. It's still too much weight when you're the one trying to lose it.

At the rate I'm losing at - it will probably take me at least 12-18 months to lose this next weight and that's just my surgeon's goal for me, not my "Want to look DANG good" goal...

It's not that I think it's never going to come off but losing (at my current rate of weight loss) 12# a year is simply inhumane. Since I've realized that my body is Fat-Preserving Machine, I am starting to examine what other options there are for people like me who aren't getting it done, much less getting it done in a reasonable amount of time. Extreme measures might be next.

(*sigh*)

I had 3 or 4 fills before I got restriction. How big is your band?

Jacqui---AMEN!!!

Newsho--I understand. Even back in my Weight Watchers days, when I got so close, I still felt like a buffalo with that last 20 lbs to go. I don't doubt you apprecaite how far you have come, but that never relieves how far you still feel you have to go. I sure hope you make it there. Good luck.

I started a call to action thread here http://lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=14403

I really think that some of us really do have metabolic issues, I know I do, since I've been diagnosed with one. Please take the time to read the thread.

Thank you all for your support. I had computer issues and could not get on line. I have a 10 cc band and it is really nice to know that I am not alone in this slow to start club : ) I would do it all again tomorrow, because I do feel better. I can almost fit into regular size 22 jeans (not the spandex added ones). I am going to start working out. I have always hated that part of getting healthier, but without it I will not get smaller and healthier.
