Not losing/fist fill

I got my first fill two weeks ago, 1cc, and I haven't seen any progress, which has been a bit discouraging. I keep fluctuating betweeen losing and gaining two pounds. It appears I have lost a total of 13 to 14 pounds since my surgery on May 9th.

I admit my eating habits have not been as they should and I haven't been doing a regular exercise routine, so obviously I need to start recording the food and amount I am eating, as well as being consistent with my exercise. I pretty much can eat anything as before so I am hoping with another fill that things will be a bit more limited.

This is definitly not like the rouxen-y with the rapid weight loss in the first few months. I hope the next fill will progress me further. I guess I need to find me a support group. ;)

Remember that 'other' surgeries may cause faster weight loss - but from everything I read the band allows it to STAY OFF much better --- hang in there -- and maybe logging food and exercise in your journal will help too! I use mine for exactly that and it keeps me going............best wishes!
