Shouldn't I be losing more?

Abundant · September 28, 2004

To date it has been four months and three fills since my surgery total weight loss is 33 lbs from May 25- to today. Shouldn't I be losing more????

33lbs is great!

Nothing to be discouraged about. Would you have lost the 33lbs without the band in this time frame?

What is a day of food like for you? How much Water are you drinking? Are you exercising? These things are important

I would take a look at what you are eating in a day, write it down and track it on fitday.com. It could be too many calories or not enough calories. I find that if I do not drink my daily Water or exercise 3x's a week I only lose a lb a week but if I exercise and drink my water it is 2-3 lbs a week.

Hang in there~

Your holding a high average! Thats a little more than 8lbs. a month. Work the #'s if you keep that avg. up for 8 more months you'de have lost 100lbs. in a year!

Yes you are new yes now is the time to be concerned with your eating and drinking habits. Your forming new habits now and we are creatures of habit! So, work hard on forming GOOD habits right now! Take advantage of this honeymoon time.

Keep up the good work!

Projected AVERAGE weightloss with the band is 1-2 pounds A WEEK. You are right on track!!

Remember that the band is about changing your habits, while eating less without hunger.

Good job, and focus on your LIFE and getting healthy, and your weight will take care of itself...
