Would you be happy with 34 lbs lost in 3 months??

[Connorsmom 1]

Because that is what I have lost since surgery (1/24/05) and I think I should have lost more. I had one fill 2 weeks ago and since then l lost about 4 lbs (in the first few days post fill) nothing lost since then.

Help

I had my surgery on 01/07/05 and I am down 23.5, you are doing really good!

At first I was kind of upset because I was expecting to lose faster but hey I am going down and not up. Also I see that inches go way faster than the pounds!!

EXCELLENT!! I went to a weight loss camp for 9 weeks last summer and was a bit like you in thinking it wasnt enough.. quick enough-wrong.You are doing fabulous-just look at the long term.Keep it up.

11.25 lbs a month,thats a loss of over 2 lbs aweek You bet I would be happy!

Average weight loss with the band is 1-3 lbs a week. Looks like you are above average. Great Job, do not be discouraged by this at all. Be Proud!!

Keep up the great work... btw you will plateau and loose and plateau and loose. It seems to be the pattern.

Wow that is wonderful, I was banded on Nov. 4 and have lost about that amount, so you are doing just great, wish I could lose weight that fast. What do you eat on an average day? You know I think my problem is that I'm not eating enough, I'm starting to look sick to people. Four people asked me if I was feeling okay today, that for sure is a sign that I look like shit. In the last two days I have been able to eat a little bit more, hopefully I can start eating healthier and feeling better.

are you kidding? i would be doing the booty shakin dance all day! (hmmm, that probably would be good exercise, hmmm)

That is fantastic. Remember band people loose more slowly than gastric bypass people. This is actually a good thing. Your skin will retain it elasticity better. 34LBS WOOHOO! Way to go girl!
