After 1 3/4 years, the band is finally working...

Thanks for your post!!!!  I had my band in June 2008....and have only lost 99 lbs in 3 yrs.  I am grateful for what I have lost, but my surgeon thinks I should be at goal weight by now.  I'm not a quick loser.  I have had such a tricky journey.  At 4ccs, I'm too loose.  At 5 ccs, couldn't swallow anything but straight liquids...no yogurt, no mashed potatoes, nothing.  I just had a baby 6 weeks ago and lost 44 lbs while pregnant.....so 44 of my 99 lbs were lost in the last 10 months because most days all I ate was 2 snow cones and some gatorade.  I felt awful because I couldn't get in any protein (protein shakes even made me slime).  I thought it would get better after delivery, but it didn't.  I went yesterday and was unfilled back to 4.  I hope I can find that sweet spot....not sure why I am rambling, but anyway, good luck to you and thanks for your story!  You remind me that there are other people like me.  :-)

ohhh...I am going to get pregnant around November this year with our second child with the band - that is my goal right now....thank you for reminding me I am not alone in this... :)
