How is all the October Bandsters doing????

[colleeb 5]

So its been almost 5 months for me getting the band and I am still living the journey. Something new every week comes up either I ate too quick ate too slow didnt chew enough etc. I have lost around 50lbs hav'nt had a fill yet but I think I need one soon,increased my exercise and and feeling great.There are days that I think what the heck did I do ? and there are other days when I think thank goodness I did this.

So how are y'all October 2012????

Thats awesome ! I was banded 10-22. I stopped losing weight in January. Its been devastating. Ive had 3 fills and go back for another Monday.

Banded 10/11/12 and feeling great! So far I'm down 68 lbs with 2 very small fills. No stuck or PB episodes yet and trying my best to keep it that way! Need to get my butt back in the gym ASAP because I fell off that wagon, but continuing to eat properly has kept the weight loss steady.

Hey Y'all

I was banded 10/28/2012. I am down 63lbs. Everything is going awesome! I have become quiet the gym rat and actually enjoy working my butt off(literally) I have lost literally 19 inches in my waist. It seems surreal.

My next mini goal is 75lbs down so I have 12 to go! Hope all is well with everyone!

I am devistated. Ii was banded in Oct and have only lost 26 lbs and only 10 of which since Dec 1st when I got my last fill. I have 4cc now. I have tried so hard, watch everything I eat. Only drink Water or black coffee. I do zumba and the elliptical. A friend was banded at the same time and eats any food, any amounts and is losing 8-10 lbs a month. I don't know if I have too much Fluid, not enough.... No one believed before my surgery that I didn't eat like I looked like I ate and was afraid this would happen. I probably eat a quarter of what my friend eats and she is dropping like crazy now. I know everyone is different but this is so upsetting. My Dr. says it's OK I have plenty time but I get so upset when I go back and forth with the same three lbs and others around me are losing 50 to 60 lbs. Has anyone else had this problem? How do I know if I have too much fluid or not enough. I saw one of the side effects of too much is poor weight loss. How??

Ditto banana and JustMe...me too exactly...35 lbs

only...beyond frustrated when watching so closely- doing what I am supposed to do and just no results.

While I am happy for all of those who are nearing 60 - 70 lbs with surgery at the same time as me...I could spit nails as to why I am not right there beside them. I can understand if I was not following the plan but I AM.???? I do track and all is where it is suppose to be...

Am trying another theory this week and will try it for 2 weeks and see what happens...fingers crossed but not holding my breath either.

My doctor does not want to give me any more fills as she thinks I "should be there by now"??????? (umm...I guess not comparing yourself to others doesnt apply to the drs even though they say not to compare yourself to someone elses green zone???)

I hate to say but I honestly feel no help what from my band.

I wont give up yet but getting getting harder and harder to want to even try with no results happening.

WE CAN DO THIS
