I Fell Off...but Now I Am Back On!

Hi fellow April bandits-

Well,

After losing 38 pounds I have been fluctuating up and down without any weightloss since August. I had to have extensive eye surgery and was out of work and under docs orders could not excersise and soooooo I got out of the groove, The positive is that I haven't gained any weight. I just keep fluctuating 3-4 pounds. Last week I started back at the gym so hoping that helps. I did go for a fill 3 weeks ago, but they denied me saying that it sounds like I have restriction and that I need to work out again and it will come off......I am in the lower 190;s which is a weight that I have been stuck at quite a few times before the band.....Hopefully the gym works. Positives- no weight gain. Negatives- no weight loss. LOL!!! I am back on now.....Thinking I may have another visit to the dietician to put me back on track as well.

Hey don't feel bad I walk 4 miles everyday and have been stuck at this weight since Sept. I remember the head doctor telling me most people lose 40 to 50% of the weight they want to lose and would I be happy with that. I know I will get that last 20 off but it just might take awhile. This band has helped keep my eating in check.

I have lost 92% of the weight I need to lose, so those doctors are not always right! Those last few pounds do move a lot slower, but I am happy where I am at and will get those last few off by our one year! Anyone having trouble, don't give up just keep plugging along and it will happen.

I hear you! I am finally getting BACK ON TRACK myself. We chose a path and sometimes we start to veer off course, but we can get back to where we need to be. We always have to put forth the effort. I just had a fill last week, and I was a little discouraged because I stretched my pouch, but I am working on shrinking it again. I did the five day pouch test, and I feel good.

Don't forget to exercise and drink lots of Water.

Congrats on getting back on track. WE CAN DO IT!

Thanks for all the positive feedback! So far the gym has been great. Usually when I start working out it takes 3 weeks for the weight to start coming off, so I am being patient.
