Angel11 126 Posted February 24, 2014 I had my surgery last year, (August 2013) and of last Monday, February 17th, had only lost 30 pounds. Had another fill last Monday. Definitely feel restriction now. Started watching my carb intake very, very, closely. Have lost 5.5 pounds since last Monday ; ) For some reason, it all clicks now. The food intake, Protein, exercise & no carbs!!! I'm very happy & ready to get the rest of my weight off...... 8 Monicab, jamilyne 102668, ABLOND and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SlowJourney 57 Posted February 24, 2014 I also had my surgery in August of 2013 and so far am down only 33 pounds. I thought this was very slow progress but friends on this site told me they thought that was good progress. I have since decided to stay off the scales and just go by the way my clothes are fitting since working out leads to muscle gain and muscle weights more than fat. I think you are doing just fine. Just don't get disappointed and give in. Eventually you WILL win! Good luck and stay strong. 5 Bandista, Angel11, jamilyne 102668 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It wasn't until the receptionist in the office & I were talking...come to find out, I wasn't feeling satisfied, along with getting fills. I'm at 7cc, I believe... Hang in there! I keep telling myself, 'Slowly but surely'... You are doing great!!! Thank you! You also stay strong!! We both will WIN!!!! 2 jamilyne 102668 and JOANNE M HOLL reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HealthyNewMe 1,935 Posted February 24, 2014 I was wondering where all the August 2013 banders were? Welcome. We should start an August 2013 thread..... 4 JOANNE M HOLL, SlowJourney, Angel11 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
