Slow weight loss

[emily5000 5]

Hi All,

I was banded three months ago and had my third fill yesterday. I have lost 26 lbs but can't shake the feeling that the weight loss is so slow!! I feel like I should be further along. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi Emily, You're losing about 2 lbs a week. That's about what the surgeons recommend.

Some people loose more , but that's not always good for your health. Keep on doing what

you're doing and in a year,you'll have lost 100 lbs. That doesn't sound too bad.

Almost 2 months for me, and I feel like my weight loss has been really slow too. I had my first fill yesterday (Saturday), so hoping I will feel more restriction! I have to keep reminding myself of how MUCH and how poorly I was eating before. And to stay positive and know that I am becoming healthier every day.

26 pounds in 3 months is almost 10 pounds a month -- that is FANTASTIC!! Any faster and it wouldn't be healthy -- that is what I averaged for the entire time I have had the band and I have reached my goal after 9 months -- be ecstatic and enjoy -- you are on your way!!

Omg! I feel like that too like it's slow or am I really losing weight, even though the scale says I am and some clothes. I had my surgery august 29, 2011 I was a 320 that day now I'm at 293-294, but I feel like the weight is taking forever to come off it's not like I eat so much food. I guess I'm looking at the people that lose more weight quicker and I Ned to stop doing that, and besides I gotta admit I can't get in the right mind set to start exercsing yes that's right didn't start yet, but trust me I'm gonna start. Oh and I have had 2 fills so far and suppose to get one thursday. So hopefully that maes me feel like want to feel like I'm doing my part and it's doing it's part also am I right or wrong give me some advice...

I HAD MY SURGERY ON 7/11/11 AND I'VE LOST 27 LBS SINCE SURGERY, BUT 39 FOR THE YEAR...SO I THINK THAT'S ABOUT RIGHT. WE ARE DOING GREAT... AS LONE AS WE ARE NOT GAINING WEIGHT...
