lessofm3 0 Posted October 12, 2009 Well like usual every Monday morning I got on the scale. I was a bit reluctant because last week I didn't lose, in fact I had gained a pound or two. Also, this weekend my husband and I went to dinner. I did order a veggie wrap, skipped the chips that came with it and only had half and had the other half yesterday for lunch. Anyhow I got on the scale and FINALLY saw a 1 in front of the other two numbers! I haven't been in the 100's since before I had my first baby, and that was 19 years ago! So yes, while 199 is still heavy for me this is a hugh accomplishment. I am so very thankful for the ability to get the band. Without it I am positive I would have died at a young age due to complications from obesity. I hope everyone is doing well in their journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phenry 0 Posted October 23, 2009 That's GREAT! Congratulations!!!!! I am close myself...however my weight loss is extremely slow as I have not reached the sweet spot yet...so although I am eating less, I still am not losing at a 2 pound a week rate. I have been banded since the middle of June. I get another fill the first week in Dec. It will be my third. My doc moves forward VERY slowly. That's okay. I am not depressed because of the slow loss. As long as it is on a downward trend...I can wait for results. I mean it did take 52 years to get this fat...so all I have is time to enjoy the ride! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
