I was banded 1/13. Between my consult in Aug. and now I have lost 15 lbs. I have been stuck on not losing for a while now. Between my post-op and Feb. 28, I lost a lb. I was given 6 cc on my first fill Feb. 28. (standard at my Dr.) I do have restriction, but still am not losing. I'm super frustrated. Have trouble getting my calories in AND I am exercising 5 days a week, bike, treadmill and elliptical. I don't know what else to do. I did "pig-out" one day and lost 4 oz. ! Even with my "pig-out", I didn't eat nearly enough calories. I am averaging around 550-600 calories. I know that's not healthy. My start weight was 199, so I know it will come off slower then those who have more to lose, but I sure would be happy if I would lose a lb. a week! Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi, I'm 53, in Bakersfield CA. I was banded on Jan. 13, 11. I am down 11 lbs, but I have been struggling lately with hunger. I eat 2-3 meals a day, but sometimes my dinner is bigger then it should be. Any ideas? I'm not due for a fill for almost a month, if then. HELP!

I was banded on the 13th, go for post-surgery appointment on the 24th!
