It's not something you're doing, it's perfectly normal. If you don't have any fill in your band, it won't be providing you much restriction if any. The early weight loss is probably from when your stomach was healing. A lot of people gain weight during this period, so I would say you're doing great! Just hang in there. :)

That's awesome you lost that weight. There isn't much restriction after surgery. Because of the swelling your stomach initially goes through that hardly put any fluid in it. Then your next visit they will ask how you have been doing, you tell them everything goes down easily, and then they usually put 1cc of saline. This will go on every month until they and u are happy with the weight loss and the restriction.. Its a constant process, don't get discouraged, sometimes its too tight (and you'll know) so kudos that you're still eating slowly cause believe me, you'll pay dearly if you rush your meals.....Good luck, you're doing great
