I lost 2.2 pounds last week...wahoo! However, I think I have gained those back during our super bowl party. Lol! I am aiming for my 20 pound goal and I only have 2 pounds to go. I hope this is a good week

Mngal, I feel the same way! I losing slowly and keep fluctuating but I too think my weight loss is die to calorie counting. Not too sure this device is working. Oh, my nurse said that when we reach the 6 month point, they will turn up the device again". I hope so!

mine sticks out quite a bit on the side. Ever see a goat at the petting zoo, with it's stomach sticking out on both sides? I'm like that but only on the left side.

Boy, you guys are doing good on the weight loss. I keep having trouble sticking to a diet and haven't lost a thing. How is your hunger level?

I'm only doing well because I actually enjoy working out...I used to teach aerobics. I still get hungry but I find that eating the right foods seems to quench it. I have weight watchers deserts for my sweet tooth. The other trick is a protien shake within 30 minutes of excercise, it chases the hunger away

I am new to this site, but I had the V Bloc surgery in Sept and have lost 3 pounds. I didn't get my device turned up at my 6 month visit. Not that it would have mattered as I don't think I am turned on.

It has been a while since everyone updated. How is the weight loss? I have really slowed down and I think it's because I only go once a month now. I am holding steady at 30 pounds but have been fluctuating at this point for the last 3weeks. Holla back!!
