You look smaller than me. so I would say you are on track. I have lost 103 pounds. But I started at 420 pounds. Keep up the good work!

Hi Tiffanie,
I can certainly understand where you are coming from. My self and my wife both had surgery about 4 1/2 months ago. My wife has lost about 60 lbs and I have lost 100. I have talked to plenty other people on this site who says that we are on target. You have already lost 75lbs in 5 months that really awesome. I would just say continue doing what you are doing and always remmeber to make sure you eat protein first with your meals.

Good Luck.

Topic: RE: Is the band there/working?

Hey guys I have not lost any weight for over 8 weeks as a matter of fact I gained 2lbs, but I have lost a lot of inches, The pounds are not melting as fast as I would like it, but I'm shrinking.  The band does work, it will take time for us to hit the right target (spot) My doctor did a band test on me and filled my band completely and I couldn't barely get in a gulp of water.  So, we do know that it works, it's just that everyone's perfect spot is different, we will get there

Be encourage, don't give up

Hey,
I was so happy to see someone out there admit they are having problems.  I had surgery June 5, I was doing really good, had my mind set, then I had a blood clot in my let, and eve though I was on the bariatric diet in the hospital, I had gained all my weight back.  So that did it, I started eating like crazy.  Then my daughter in law had a misscarrage-more eating.

I had cancelled my last 2 fill appts because I was scared to go.  Well, I went today, I had a new PA who I really liked.  She said we dont want to see you fail,  were are here to get you back on track....you have no idea what a difference that kindness made.  I am really going to try agian.  I will keep posting.
