Slow loser...NSV

[trapped inside 0]

Hey everybody! I'm checking in at 10 months post-band. I've lost 36 lbs. I just finished my first 5K and it did not kill me! Yeah. I feel so strong and have so much more energy. Tonight is my 5 year wedding anniversary and its the first time I've worn a dress since the wedding. I actually feel pretty. 40-80 more pounds to go and I feel successful and though it has been slow going. Slow losers take heart!

Finished my first 10k (walking) yesterday and I finished in the top 29% for all females (1581) and top 31% for women and men (1987). Woo hoo! Woo hoo! Who am I?! I am an athlete! Slow losers set a goal and go get it!!!!!

Slower than most with the band, but feeling just great, this next year is a focus on excercize and another 30 pounds...i am a turtle, but will finish this race!!!!!

I'm right there with you! I'm just over 11 months out and have lost 65 lbs. It's less than some, but, I'm thrilled with the results (so far).

I had to get completely unfilled about a week ago (slight stretching of my pouch). They'll slowly fill me up again in about 3 weeks - till then I'm on my own. It's tough, but, not as bad as I thought.

I love my band and NEVER want to be without it :girl_hug:

Congrats to us slow losers - we'll get there eventually!!!! Keep up the great work!

hello - I'm a slow loser too. Although I don't feel like one - as far as I'm concerned a year ago I weighed a whole lot more so it's all good!!! Keep up the good work fellow bansters!!

A year out and I am also a slow loser. But...without the band I would be 46 lbs heavier. Congrats on your NSV and anniversary!! I know there are more NSVs to come!

Hi Everyone,

It has been 1 year ago today that I had my surgery!!!!!!!!!! I have lost a total of 43lbs. I am a slow looser but at least I am 43lbs lighter.

The time has gone by very quickly and sometimes I am hard on myself but I have to remember where I was before and where I am now. I still have about 75lbs to go. I will take it one day at a time and know that I will have good and bad days. Good Luck to Everyone!!!!! Take care and God Bless.

Hello everyone!!! My 1 year anniversary was on October 8. I have lost a total of 45lbs :)But I am not losing a fast as I want to be. I haven't had a fill for quite sometime now. But it is strange at times because depending on the day or even the time of day I am not able to eat because I feel full. does this happen to anyone else?

Hi everyone, Good for you...It takes time..we all didnt start at the same weight...or size..I was banded 10/07 and I finally went below the 200 mark....that was a big goal for me..I have lost about 85 pds..but I still need to lose about 55 more..so I need to get focused. Some days I can eat 3 times as much..other days its hard to get a shake down...my weakness is staying away from pudding and ice cream..mashed potatoes...if you all have any suggestions..I am ready to listen..thanks and good luck... :smile2:
