Rapid Weight Loss

[judych 225]

I lost 16 lbs the first week. After that I was pretty constantly at the 2lbs a week, for a total now of 87 lbs and I am only 7 lbs away from onederland. I want it so badly. Just remember to enjoy the beginning cause the more weight you have to lose the faster it comes off. The closer you get to your goal the harder you have to work at it. Also my Dr shared with me that on average lap band patients only lose 50 to 60 % of their excess weight. This is coming from drs pooling their patient records so its pretty reliable. I am 75% .

I think I am mistaking clear and full fluids. I am now on smoothies And milk products so that means full fluids for next month. Not as bad as the clear fluids bit still getting quite hungry!

Thanks for replys by the way!

...im the same, im getting hungry as well. Im having baby food with some extra steamed potato blended in... and milk to make it sloppy enough for a straw... that does ease the problem a bit. its not a nice feeling to be hungry all the time. Is this the ''lapband hell'' that has been mentioned here??
