Am i doing ok?

[icey]

had my band 2nd Aug, and im now 46lbs down?
I was expecting more tbh.. :/ But i only 4mls in a 14ml band x

Wow 50 pounds almost in less than half a year that's amazing! When have u ever achieved that before?

Average weight loss with a band is 1-2lbs per week. To have lost 46 lbs in 5 months you're doing great!

 

[top_kat]

Yes you're doing great, as they say average loss is 1-2lb a week, if you think that things aren't going as planned or that you maybe in need of a fill, contact your provider. It seems that you don't yet have a lot in your 14ml band, so you may find that working to find restriction if you don't have it already that a fill may help. Speak to them, its what they are there for

Karen as the others have said, you are doing great. Its difficult not to compare your progress to others who lose more quickly. But 1-2lbs a week is what most providers say the band will help you achieve. So really well done! This is a marathon not a sprint and has to be maintainable for the rest of your life.

Thank you all for your comments. I have been very reluctant to keep having my band filled from my initial experience where i couldnt even keep water down. I am still being sick with 4mls in my band but only if i eat chicken or bread, so its quite specific now. I avoid these foods, but im very anxious about getting its filled as i have experienced the tight band from the very beginning and its really not nice. This has made huge impacts on my life in fact i would say i am now a vegetarian x

I had to smile when you said you were almost vegetarian ..I think I am getting that way..

I have 10 in a 14 band and finally have restriction after 3rd fill so I am pleased, but it really limits what you can eat doest it

I loved my protein chicken was my fave so I am tending to chew far more than required as like you I am afraid to eat anything that may stick

I must say though I am worried we could slip into a slider food problems but what is our option when solid food gets stuck

I think you have done really well..Keep going xxxxx
