LOL! Others have given some good advice, so I'll just say hang in there. It will happen!

Thanks for the encouragement.

I am still laughing - I love your humorous sarcasm - "she ballooned to 180!" I get frustrated by the 'calorie crunchin' people' too. :) I think there is something to having enough essential oils and omega 3 fatty acids, and other nutritional aspects that maybe we don't understand, and I think that the point that losingoneme said is probably worth a shot too. Also, use mental imagery on what you want (not what you don't want) as much as possible. I am with you, keep trying! -Mia

Hi Mia, I am going to try the mental imagery--that is a good idea. I have been focused on the weight I am not loosing. I will let you know how it goes,. Thanks for the encouragement.

you are too funny! i understand your frustration but a really good friend of mine had the band last january and lost slowly at first, but by the 9th month out she was down 100lbs. Hang in there... your time is coming too!

This news is encouraging. I hope I can have that type of success. Thanks so much for your comments and your videos. They always help me.

Girl 2 years later this video is still so funny and relateable. I am just starting my lap bad jouney now. Had my surgery August 12 so this is all very relevant. I love your videos and your humor. Thank you thank you. I have seen your transformation and am hoping and praying for the same. The "ballooned to 180" comment is hilarious!!

You are too funny!!!! I really like you. It will be okay. Jusy pray and keep doing what you are doing!

I can totally feel your frustration.You are six weeks post op maybe you are retaining fluids, or you may be slightly dehydrated. Are you drinking enough water? Are you getting enough protein? Stay positive, and make sure you discuss your concerns with your surgeon at your fill appt.And yes I have seen the show "I Lost It" Some of the shows were inspirational,but I agree the narrator is drama happy. Gook luck, stay strong!

You are doing great girl, hang in there. You crack me up! I think u seriously should look into Stand-Up Comedy :D. I love ur videos.

Have u thought that maybe ur not eating enough calories... if u eat too little, ur body will go into starvation mode and store more fat.

Great, I know the fill will get you right on track. I had a slight breakdown about the surgery yesterday, But I am good to go now! Tijuana here I come!
