So Far So Good

Weight loss is a challenge no matter how you do it! Obalon is a tool not a cure. My package came with a platform to help make permanent changes in behavior. It has live support groups, library videos on healthy living, a calorie tracker and a weight tracker. This is what you make it! I have all 3 balloons and I'm about 6 weeks in and I've lost 15lbs.( I started with a 32BMI, went from obese to overweight..next up Healthy weight) Obalon makes it so you feel full. The biggest advice I can give is drink your water. Water floats the balloons to give you the full feeling. Not going to lie, swallowing these suckers isn't easy. I needed applesauce to get them down. All in all this has been working for me.

Hey there, I'm just checking in to see how you are doing since your last update.

Ok they did what they were supposed to. I lost over 30 lbs at 41/2 months I had them removed( my choice.. nothing wrong) .. They are pricey and not very comfortable but since I was always full it gave me time to alter my behavior . When dieting in the past my hunger always made me give up. I truly changed the whole way I look at food.

Thanks for sharing your update! I get what you mean. Changing your behavior patterns can have such a big effect, especially over the long term.
