Getting Discouraged!

[kfmorris10 5]

Ok lapbanders...I have been banded for not quote 3 months and I have only lost 30lbs. I am getting really discouraged here. I mean 30 is good but I haven't lost a single pound in a week and I still have like 90lbs to go. Give me some advice PLEEASE!

Three months....have you had any fills yet? How many / how much? Are you feeling any restriction at all? Hunger?

It's hard to give any advice uless we know where you are at on your journey.

You need to go in for a fill! if you are 3 months post op and no fills yet, whats stopping you? I just had my first fill last week, (I am 2 months post op) and have lost 5lbs since that fill. It really does work, when you let it work. Just having it in place will not make you lose weight, remember, its just a tool. The tool cannot work if its not used properly. Go, get your fill, you may not even feel restriction on the first fill, keep working closely with your doctor, thats when you will see results!

Everyone loses at a different rate. 10 pounds a month is over the "normal" rate. I certainly have not lost 10 per month!!!! I wish!!! lol I know I also didn't gIn 30 lbs in 3 months. It will all come off in due time and you will feel wonderful! Keep making the right choices and don't focus on the people who are losing faster than you.

Best of luck to you!!!!!!

Ten pounds a month and you're complaining? I don't know any other method of weight loss that would give you a ten pound a month loss. I'm three weeks post-op (today) and satisfied with my four pound loss!

at 3 months I was down 29 pounds and at 1 year 80. Don't be down on yourself. Sounds like you are doing great!

I just went to the dr for a check up last week and was down 29 pounds. I had my surgery 12/30/11. My surgeon was very pleased because he stated that he sees an average of 50 pounds lost in one year. I have not had a fill yet, I'm still losing without. I go back 4/5 so we will see what happens then,

from what I was told, the body has to take a break and adjust, so its ok if you don't lose weight. It adjusts and then will start loosing weight again.

Slow is good this time...

I was happy to see you on here because I remember how you got sick before your surgery and had to have it delayed. I felt so bad for you. It's great to see you're doing so well! Congrats!

Ok thanks guys...I guess I need to stop comparing myself to other people..most people I know r down 50 by now. But I am not complaint cause the Lord knows I could not have lost 30 on my own. Bit thanks for all the comments and replies.

I am new to this group. I had my surgery on 12/28/2010 & have lost about 50 lbs. The first year I was dropping the weight real quickly but then I hit a plateau and for the last year, I have not lost any weight. I recently started working with a nutrionist to see if I can get back on track to lose the remaining 30 lbs. that I need to lose. I am having issues with food getting stuck & vomiting, any tips or advice?

Can't say what the cause of your issues are, but one thing this band will do as you progress along....is for you to re-educate yourself with different eating habits, procedurews, and types of food.< /p>

If not, you will always have problems and never be able to continue on. There are certain foods I had to say good-bye to. Small sacrifice to a new me!
