Trick or Treat!!! I think the Trick has been on me.

Here it is almost 3 months out and I haven't lost any weight since coming home from the surgery... So today I sit and wonder if the trick isn't really on me.:thumbup: I have been walking and trying to watch what I eat and have been concentrationg on how I chew and make sure to never drink during meals. It is very frustrating to not see the scale move and not have any NSV. The worst part of it all is when people ask how much weight I have lost. I go in for my 3rd fill on 11/7/08 and I am hoping to feel some restriction. I really would be happy with at least loosing 1 pound a week. I guess I should be happy about not gaining, but I can't help but being frustrated. My first fill was on 9/12/08 for 3.4cc's( I have a 10 cc standard band), my 2nd fill was 2cc's for a total of 5.4cc's. I am trying to stay positive as the nurse stated that most people start to really see results with 6-8cc's. I hope I am almost there!!! I hope this is the last Halloween I have to feel like a stuffed pumpkin. Happy Halloween to All!
