Infertility

[gloriadiaz1 14]

Here is my situation, I got my band 6 months ago, and I have been able to loose 44 pounds since then, but it has been so hard for me to loose weight, I think my body has a set weight that it's fighting me to keep, the main reason that I got this surgery is because I want to be healthy and be able to have another baby, talking to my ob/gyn told me that the only way I was going to be able to ovulate normally is by loosing weight, again my progress has been slow and I just don't know what ales to do, I follow all the instructions from my doctors, any suggestions or anyone going through the same situation as me, please advise...

44 pounds is quite an accomplishment and in 6 months. I think that's about average. You've lost an average of 1.8lbs per week. That's not bad. Just make good food choices and exercise more and it'll speed up. You've done great I think. Be patient with yourself. 2lbs per week is what I hear is about average wt. loss with the band Keep it up!!! You're doing awesome!.
