I too have to admit i am doing well not at goal yet but comfot=rtable with my losses down 75 lbs. 19 months post op now and each lb is a battle. Not consuming much food and learning where that compfrtable spot stays. have had several fills and believe my band is about half full. have 49 lbs more to go till goal my dr is very happy and from a size 24w now wear a normal 16 no stretch just trousers for work. That is a big deal for me ia m now thinner than i have ever been as an adult so from here on out the sky is the limit hopeing to reach goal this year before 2011 comes along but inching along every day !!!! great to hear that losing is slow for more then just me and keep up the great work everyone !!!

Isn't it mixed emotions!?!? It is great to be where we are!!! Down so many pounds!!! But we still want a few more to come off and seeming to struggle for every one now. I wouldn't go back for ANYTHING! My family went to an All you can eat Chinese place last night and everyone left miserable except me. I had my Soup with 4 or 5 chips and one shrimp and half of one of those other stuffed things I like and it was plenty, I was satisfied. I love feeling satisfied. I don't remember feeling satisfied when I was a size 26W and now I eat like a bird and feel satisfied. It is great! Keep up the good work! We will make it! Remember according to every statistic I have read the 3 year mark is the one to watch!

i cant believe i'm just now finding this thread! oh well better late than never :laugh:

my weight loss is still going good. i'm just frustrated with food. i'm such a picky eater, so what i can and want to eat is very limited. i get so frustrated, either i know the food is going to be hard going down, or i wont like it. so i get tired of trying to think of something and i eat Cereal. i'm so burned out on all the things i used to eat. ugh.

other than that life is great. i love my band. i've been working out this year. trying to tone up. my arms are really bothering me. i just dont know if i can get them tone enough, i sure dont want surgery. and i can actually JOG on a treadmill now! love it! and i love hearing all your stories! GL everyone :smile:

WOW! That is great that you are at goal and now have a new one! I still have some to go! The old folks in my church are fussing and saying I have lost enough but it feels good and I am not done yet.

HI, I never got on this site,but I had the Lap band August 2008 and would like to join the group since we have the same things in common...how do I join?

Thanks,

Laurie

I am not really sure how to join other than just posting but you and I may be the only ones still out here. Around the first of the year most everyone that had been active seemed to drop away - many had reached their goal or were frustrated at not reaching their goal.

I have been thinking of finding another group to find support in but haven't had much time to do anything about it with my teenagers schedule this spring.

I would be glad to try and support each other. I have a goal set for Memorial Day weekend (US) then I will be setting one for my anniversary day in August. Of course, I already know what that goal is but I may shoot for a little higher than I had originally planned.

How are things going with your lapband? My FIL asks me about once a month when we go out to eat if I regret it. My answer is always the same - I would do it again tomorrow - even when I have days like yesterday.

Hope to hear from you again!
