125 Members So Why Are We So Quiet???

I'm here, just quiet lately. Getting depressed about no weight loss while following all the rules, exercising way more than I have, and still struggling with getting all my calories. Inches lost are great, but it would be hard to have a 28" waist and still weigh 258 lbs. Grr. I know.

Had my 1 month post op PCP appointment. Last week had my 3 week follow up LB surgeon appointment. Good news is I'm down 25lbs since sx on 4/2/12. BP was normal for the first time in A WHILE. Blood sugars are consistently below 140 (goal intially was below 150). Just a small tweak of meds and more lab work in 2 months. Feeling pretty good these days! You all are great encouragement and support, even when just lurking!

summrsue I'm not losing either so don't feel too bad. I've heard this time is referred to being in "lapband hell" but to go up and down each day with the same lb gets really frustrating. I'm sure it will start dropping when we get filled. May 21st for me! I can't wait!!!

 

I am happy for others like runnyf. It's awesome to hear your doing so well.

Smmrsue - i am also a little frustrated with my slow loss. I was banded 4/10 and the scale has barely moved since 4/19. I had my follow up with my surgeon yesterday and he said that I needed a fill- but I can barely get 800 calories in these days. I am wondering if I get my calorie intake up higher if that will help, but when I get a fill won't it be harder? So puzzled. But my dr was encouraging, so I am trying to stay strong...

weight at start of pre surgery diet - 304/current weight 280/surgery 4/10, Follow up 5/1

I see a few of you are in a weight loss lull. It'll pick up though, don't you think? My scale hasnt budged much this week but this AM I was down 2 lbs.
