Thank goodness for this site and all the info I get. I have not lost much weight since being banded about a month ago but I am not discouraged. I followed Doctors orders exactly and have been on about 1000 calories a day. For the last week I have been on Atkins trying to shake things up in my body. I just don't loose weight easily and now that I'm over 50 it's nearly impossible. I have been walking about a mile a day, surely not enough exercise. Next week is my first fill and I am so excited. I know this is what I need to reduce my intake and am very optomistic that I will begin to see progress. I feel completely healed and ready for the next step.

I am 51 and have been banded now 31 days. I went into this know the band was a tool. The other tool I found is the lapband.com site for recording my progress and food. Be careful about eating too little calories. I stick between 1200 to 1400 and I have lost 16 lbs since the day before surgery. I know that is alot for one month. Moving is important but not sending your body into starvation mode is important. My first fill was last week. I am a bit more restricted but I still could go crazy with food if I didn't write it down and track the calories. I wish you the best!!
