I'm a slow loser. I've lost 30 lbs since June. My doctor said I am right on track though at 1 lb a week. Hope everything goes better for you.

I think it's WAY too early to be calling yourself a slow loser, Tonia. It's only been 5 weeks!! Especially if you lost that weight SINCE surgery, that's not bad AT ALL! Give it time :) | |

I have lost fairly slowly the entire time. I have averaged 1-2 lbs a week with a few plateaus that lasted weeks before loss started again. I am just over a year out, 57 weeks, and down 60 lbs. I have no complaints. Even losing slowly I am pleased to be where I am at now. I am getting very close to goal, so fast or slow loss, the end result will be the same! | |

I agree with Argon, it's WAY to soon to call yourself a slow loser!

Toqu.....you are a relative lightweight so you are going to lose at a slower rate than some of us heavier bandsters. However, I know you must be frustrated.
If you would like to share what you are doing as far as eating/drinking/moving maybe we can offer suggestions to help you get the scales moving!!

I was banded July 6th and have only lost 7 lbs . . . i consider myself a slow loser - but every one is different. I've now had 3 fills for a total of 2.4 cc in my band now (a 4 cc).

I was banded in March and am hovering between 45 and 50 pounds. But that is still at the 1-2 pounds per week so my doctor is OK with it. I would love to lose a little faster, but now that I am feeling better I am going to start exercising a little more, that might help.

Ima slow looser too. (sigh) But, I keep thinking the weight is now comming OFF! Even if it is slow, at least I am not gaining any more. And I am now eating healthier than I have ever done before the band. So we got that going for us, right?

Mandy has only lost about 30-35. Banded March. But we still have hope.
She is quiting her job at the resturant and no longer drinking water one hour before and one hour after eating.Hope it helps.

I was banded in April and have only lost 23-25 lbs. That is super slow, but I have hormone problems that give me fits losing weight. I am thankful that the scales are moving in the right direction, if even just a little. At this rate, it will take me years to get my weight off, but I've come to terms with it.

I also stay full much longer... I try to do it the way they say protien first, then vege's, then starch. I think one of my main things that I have to get over is drinking while I am eating. I am only sipping but it's a really hard habit to break.:help:

I would sure like to join this club. My weight loss was going great then all of a sudden it's stopped. I was too tight and had some taken out, now I almost wished I had of left it in. Lost 60 pounds in just over 4 months now I am lucky to loose a pound a week. I guess it's time to exercise. Hope everyone's weight loss kicks in including mine.
