Anyone else losing weight very slowly or not at all like me?

[Harrier's Woman 58]

Yes, I feel the same way. I was banded on 12/21/12 and I'm down about 27 pounds. When I get down on myself, I think of where I would be without the band. I would still be 256, wearing clothes that were tight on me, and eating the crappy way I did before. I lost sooo much weight those first few weeks and I've totally plateued. But, sigh... it's ok. I've lost almost 3 10lb sacks of potatoes. And, even though I'm not losing, I'm not gaining either, so that's something.

Just know that we all go through Bandster hell, but girl... you've lost 57 pounds!! That's huge! Give yourself a hug... go on... I'll wait. We have to look at the big picture and the bright side. Looking back doesn't do anything but hurt.

You go girl!!

Thanks so much for your kind words! Its true I could be gaining weight like I was pre-band; so it could definitely be worse. This darn plateau is just so frustrating! But, like everyone else, I will persevere.
