Update three monthes out

[plutomars 1]

How is everyone who had the revision doing? I am a little concerned that mine is slow and seemed to be stalled. I am at 3.5 months and lost 56 lbs. 61 to go. Love to hear from people.

I am almost 2 months out and have only lost 22 lbs too.... Slow too.. I have been frustrated.....I had band to bypass Jan 14 th...Sw 210, now 188....need to lose 60 more lbs too, I am only 5'3.....

Yes, I've been discouraged, too. I was 3 months out yesterday and have lost 45. I have about 35 to go. I keep telling myself that I'm probably slower than many because I didn't have as much to lose, therefore the loss is slower. The upside of that, according to my doctor, is that those who have less to lose often come closer to their goal. Guess I'll hang on to that. I have to remember that 45 lbs is A LOT of weight! It's hard, too, because people don't seem to notice. They comment on my "new hair style," which is the same as it's always been, not knowing that it's my face that is thinner, not my hair that is different. My husband has coincidentally lost 25 lbs and is at his goal weight. Of course, everyone comments on his great loss. I want to say, "What about ME? I've lost almost twice as much as he has!" But, I guess it's not as noticeable when you still have a long way to go.

Very scary since we have not been successful with the band.

[momlambert 77]

Yes, that really concerns me. Scary, indeed.

I know you probably feel sad but might think of this way. 1 lb is one stick of butter etc 45 sticks is ALOT something to be VERY VERY proud of! I havent had a revision yet. Just starting the insurance process. BuT i just started weight watchers this week to help me loose some of the 45 lbs i gained back. My insurance also wants us to loose 10%. So Ww will help with that also.

I will be getting a band-to-RNY in mid april or early may. My target loss is 75 pounds. 45 pounds lost in three months doesn't seem to bad to me. My sister is almost a year out from RNY. She never had a lapband. Her initial weight loss also was seen in her face and neck and loss of a couple of chins (her words) It took a while before I could see it. She also was used to dressing in layers. Now that she is shedding her old styles, it's more noticeable. Good luck.

Thanks, I appreciate everyone's support. My troubles usually appear when I compare myself to others who had surgery when I did. I need to STOP that craziness!

Your doing awesome! Focus forward and before you know it you'll be at goal. This weight didn't appear overnight on us. It's going to take time and patience to lose it too. Worst thing to do is to compare yourself with others and weigh yourself often. It will drive you insane. Continue to shoot for your goal. You can do it!!!
