A week shy of 3 months and 47 lbs down!

Next week will be my 3 month mark. In the beginning I was losing slowly, but I have lost 47 lbs! Yesterday someone stopped me and said he didn't even recognize me from afar, I told him how much I had lost and said I didn't think that was enough to make me unrecognizable yet..but maybe.   I went for a fill today and was bumped up to 7cc in 10 cc band. I am thinking this may be too much for me, but I want to ask you all if you know this..If they pull all the fluid out and then put it back in wit

FLIPPED PORT

I had surgery July 5. Everything has been going fine, but today when I went for my second fill they said my port was flipped completely over. The doctor was not in the office. The nurse tried to flip it over, but it wouldn't work, so now I have to go back next week for the dr. to fix it. They said it will be done in the office with local anesthetic, so I won't be out.

Encouragement needed and questions

I am 6 days post op with no weight loss since surgery which makes no sense to me because I lost 19 lbs on the pre op 10 day liquid diet. Why am I not losing now? I have followed the liquid diet post op just as I am supposed to. Why now that I had the surgery do I feel sad, discouraged about my decision? Did anyone else feel this way? Any input is greatly appreciated.
