I was banded on 6/26 and I also wonder about the normalcy of my progress. I take a moment every afternoon to browse through these threads. It dosn't take long to see that we are really all the same. Hope LBT helps you too.

Congrats on your weight loss; you seem to be doing great. I was banded on 6/30 and have lost about 18lbs. I seem to be at a standstill that has lasted two weeks. I know I need to schedule my first fill, but haven't yet. Once I get that fill, hopefully the weightloss will get a jumpstart again. I was doing well with eating small portions and not being hungry between, but no weight loss in two weeks, the only thing I am guessing is I need to schedule that fill.

Best wishes to you and I hope to continue reading your success stories on the boards.

Oh by the way, Have you added yourself to the June bandsters? They are a great bunch of people. There is also someone keeping a log of everyone's progress.

Hi- thank you. I sat after a 15# week for 2 weeks- then when I had my first fill- went down another 5# and have sat again. I am scheduled for my next fill on 9/8/08 in Madison WI--I had the surgery in Houston TX so had to find another provider in my state for f/u. I just hope I don't keep needing fills to keep it moving --I am eating WAY less than I was before and some mild exercise a few times a week. I remain positive--but of course we all want it off faster !! I forget it took me 18 years to put it all on- have another 100 to go,.

You all are doing great with your weight loss 18-20 pounds is right on par for the average weigh loss. I lose about 8-10 pounds a month and I am at my sweet spot. Keep it up you're all doing well!

Thank you for your kind support. In the end, I know I am taking much better care of myself with my food choices, volume, drinking more Water and my swimming than I have in a long time. That is the kind of help you can not see as it is going on inside !! :thumbup: You too are doing great at 8-10 a month. My first goal is to get below 200- have not seen that since 1991 !!!!!
