Still Learning My Band

Ok, here we go:
I had the lap band surgery on October 13, 2011. It was a seamless procedure, everything went well, and I was out that night. I was sore, but no pain (thank goodness). One week later went to the doctor, and lost 15 lbs. I was happy as a bee eating honey. Then went back the day before thanksgiving (go figure) and got my first fill make it 5cc's. By that time I lost another 9lbs (still happy). Then here I go getting on the scale everyday which made me sick, especially when I did not see the numbers move, so I had to tell myself to stop weighing myself. Now I weigh every week.
I say that I am learning my band, because certain things I eat seem to go down like a rock, and I have to sit there uncomfortable until the food goes down. I know it my fault, because I still following my old habits like drinking with my food, eating too fast, and not chewing well. All number one rules I know.
The only thing is I don't know if I am doing everything else correctly. I believe that I should have lost more weight than I have it will be 2 months tomorrow. My friend is telling me that I am doing fine, and it's a slow process, which I know that's why I wanted the Lap band, but who know.... LOL
I am attempting to stay away from carbs, such as bread, and rice. Although I have had a couple of Pringles, and some fried items, but for the most part it’s been just soup, veggies and meat.
I'm exercising, but not as much as I should; I know that. I'm getting back on track.
I guess at this point I am looking for suggestions on how I can lose more weight per month, and/or what are some of your best practices.
