don't feel anything

I was doing so well in the beginning and managed to lose 33 lbs. but I seem to have stalled and keep gaining and losing the same 1 1/2 lbs. It's very frustrating!! It's been ten days since my first fill and I don't feel any restriction at all. I feel like I could eat a HORSE! I'm beginning to think I should have had the bypass.

Someone tell me it will get better!!!:)

it will be BETTER!!

Im going throught the same. But i have had 4 fills and still feel zero restriction. My scale keeps playing with the same 2 lbs....so what i decided to do is keep working out and stop weighing myself and look at how my clothes fit me. I have one particular problem spot (belly) that doesnt seem to want to go away.

I know i am still eating way to much...my next fill is 2 months, my goal is to try to loose 10lbs by then.

Keep your head up!! It has take me 10 years to gain 100lbs i should not expect to loose it in less that 1 year...

Okay so I am about a week and a few days from my surgery and I am kinda freakin' out a little because I have gone back and forth about which one to have and when I read things like what you are talking about it makes me nervous, will I be able to do it, I thought this was supposed to be a tool to help me not be as hungry, will it help me stay on only 1200 calories....I AM SCARED, HELP

I am going in for my second fill Wed. I think I really need it because I am hungry more foten than I think I should be. I lost 41 lbs since the 2 weeks prior to surgery but then last week I started to creep back up. I started really working out harded and watching everything I have been eating. The scale is going back down but I didn't think I would be going up so soon after surgery. I too wonder if I should have gone the by pass route. I am [raying this next fill will help the humger pangs go away. Good luck, god speed.

my sugery was 4/27/10...i've had only one fill...my second fill is in 2weeks... i was told that i wouldnt feel any restrictions until at least my 3rd fill and that the lap band wouldnt start to "work" until about 3months/3 to 4 fills after surgery..... so dont give up.....
