thininside28 0 Posted August 7, 2008 It's amazing how differently we all loose. I'm one of the slower ones but I know I am gaining Mucle. And can see a major change in my body. I am lifting weights 3 times a week for 1.5 hours. Also cardio a few times a week so I am thrilled with my progress. Was down 3lbs this AM! Keep up the great work everyone!!!

bodybutter64 0 Posted August 7, 2008 good for you thininside- I am losing slowly as well on average about 5 pounds per month so far - and you know what I'm good with it, I was banded on 5/19/08 and have lost about 25 pounds- I haven't had a fill yet either- no complaints on my end better slow and steady than not at all.. Keep lifting those weights! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neverB4 2 Posted August 7, 2008 I slowed down last wk...with my exercise and Protein so naturally, my appetitie picked up. I didn't lose week before last and only 1lb this wk. No biggy, esp after a lady in my support grp ;ast night was devestated because she hadn't lost in past "12 days"...OMGolly, I would freak if I weighed every day for 12 days anyways! But I understand that works for her. I'm back on tracj this week doing my 30mins walking and 15mins strength training, 5days/wk. I go for my 2nd fill Tuesday. Still 2cc in a 10cc holding at 1/2 to 3/4 cup per meal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CirrusPilot 0 Posted August 8, 2008 Congratulations to everyone on their losses! I'm down 40 lbs since beginning the preop diet the last week in April. That puts me (almost) at the halfway mark. I have had four fills, and the most recent this week definitely put me at my sweet spot. Blood pressure and sugars are down, and I feel great. I have to say that being banded was the best health decision I have ever made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mominlv13 1 Posted August 11, 2008 Down another .6 lbs!! Not much of a loss but I will take it!! As long as I don't see the scale going back up I'm good with it. I keep to the plan and know that my body is adjusting. Doing more exercise so that may be muscle being built up. Not going to worry!! I love Looosssiiieee!!!
