i love hearing everybody is doing so well. i amnot doing so well. i was banded on sept23rd. i have had 2 fills. my third one will be on jan 10th. i have only lost 16 pds. i go to the gym 4 times a week. i take a weight class twice a week and do cardio twice a week( 3miles on treadmill or bike). i can eat anythin at anythime without any problem. i pray this fill will give me the restrictions so may of you are feeling. and for those who have restrictions, cherish it. i wish i were you. my goal was to have lost at least 25-30 pds by now. how dissapointing. i feel such the failure.:cry

I have only had 1 fill and I don't have much restriction either. It is also good to remember that everyone loses differently. You might want to check out this article:

Laphappy40, how can you be a failure when you are losing? Please don't be so hard on yourself. Failure would entail not having the surgery, not doing anything to stop the cycle of weight gain and yo-yo dieting. Just getting the band is a huge step towards victory. I am awaiting insurance approval and your weightloss along with everyone else's is a great inspiration to me! Keep your head up your headed towards the finish line. :clap2:

My three month anniversary was yesterday. I've lost 39 pounds. I'm a bit bitter because three days ago it was 41, but, for some reason, three came back. It's going back down though.

My goal is to lose an average of ten pounds per month. I'm not sure if it will work though. I've had three fills. The last one was the day before Thanksgiving. I felt it that day, but I REALLY felt it about two weeks later. I can't even finish a taco anymore! But, that's also why I'm not happy that I'm not losing faster.

Oh well. Being at 251 right now, my goal is to be at 240 by February 8th, which, by the way, is the absolute lowest I've ever weighed in my adult life.
