Golden oppurtunity

[flower 2]

Just wondering I read a book about lap band and it said the first year is prime for losing weight then it decreases I have been banded for almost a year and not lost all the weight I want to know do I still have another year left I am hopeing so please let me know what you have read and heard scared I want to lose another 50 or so pounds. I made the mistake of not getting a fill for like three months but it turned out I wasn't as tight as I thought because I only lost like 5 pounds for that three months and that was valuable time live and learn. I'm greedy I guess I am glad I lost what I did but I want to finally be at a (normal) weight for height and not always have to think about it let me know what you think thanks.

You have plenty of time. Forever in fact. They're commenting on the motivation to continue folowing a diet diminishing.

You're fine as long as you remain motivated.

The RnY is the one where weight loss slows way down or stops after about a year.

I agree with Donna. The only thing I can see slowing your loss other than motivation, is that it's almost always the hardest to lose the last 20 lbs or so.

Yeah, I'd say that's more a statistical observation based on people's motivation and commitment.

Plus you do just naturally lose more weight quickly at first.
