Thanks Gary. Hoping to get things moving. I know it's normal but it is so frustrating!

Frustrated. I have now hit my first plateau. Nothing in 3weeks. Any suggestions?

I hit my first goal last week! 50lbs. Feeling great!

Had my first stuck experience this morning. Wasn't fun at all!

I had lots of gas pain even 6 weeks later. My surgeon told me to try Beano before each meal for a few days. What a differenceI felt better in one day. I had lower gas pain. It was brutal!

LessLee you are doing great! Just remember how many inches you lost!

53lbs is amazing! My Weightloss is slow since surgery too but I think of it as a healthy Weightloss! Congrats!

Well today I finally reached a 30lb weight loss. I've lost 20 since surgery and feeling proud and happy!

I did take my measurements and do once a month. I lost 3 inches in my hips and 2 in my waist. Feeling great!

Doing well! Had a great week last week with a 3.5 lb loss. This week slower. My pants are falling off me which is great but frustrting because I am not buying any new summer clothes. At some point I may start looking like the teenage boys with their pants hanging off their butt. Lol

Diana, I have had a lot of lower bloating and gas pain too. Try Beano with each meal for a few days. It really worked and quickly.

I had terrible lower gas pain still at times four weeks out. I started Beano instead of gas x and what a difference that made.

Great! Wow you had more in your band with your surgery then I do now. So happy for you. Everything else go well?

I don't use my extra calories andi don't know how I even could. I am not that hungry to go and eat an extra 800 calories. That's great that you are exercising! Good job!

My fill didn't hurt at all. I got 3ccs but I didn't have anything in my band. I don't feel any different. I can go about 3hours before feeling hungry. I am not striving but I start too feel the hunger and my body gets a bit nauseous. I would get the fill but it will take sometime.

I also had surgery on June 25th. Friend request me. It's nice to have others in the same boat as I am in.

I had surgery on June 25th and doing well. I only feel hungry just before a meal buti had my first fill last week 3ccs. Overall feeling good. My biggest problem is gas pain. For some reason it keeps getting stuck in my lower abdomen. My surgeon said it happens to some people but it is getting better. All of you are doing great!

Chloe I just had my 3week mark. What ate were banded. Congrats on the 7lbs. That's great! Take one day at a time and remember that it's a healthy Weightloss. Friend me on here so we can support each other.

I am from the Hudson Valley, about an 1 1/2 North of the city. Would love some NY friend. Friend me.

Spoke to my doctor last night and he thinks t is all lower gas pains. He said it can be very painful and it is. He recommended getting Beano for the lower gas pain. Hope it works!

Ivy, what is gastritis? I am going to a gastro doctor on Wednesday with a lot of questions. It is really painful!

I am having some pretty rough cramps and gas pain. I had my first fill on Wednesday. Is this normal? No I am not getting my period.

Believe me I have been logging every single thing. Due to my restrictions, I haven't been able to et a large variety of foods. What does cycling mean? Thank you!

Thanks Ladies. All good advic. I hav always been a slow loser which is a healthy thing but so frustrating when I am eating so much less then I used to et. Believe me I am not going to give up! Not even close. I haven't measured myself but that's a great idea! My surgery was on June 25th. I get my first fill this coming Wednesday the 17th. Thanks for the help.

I am 2 and 1/2 weeks out and really trying not to weigh myself like crazy but I am not losing. I lost 10 lbs in the first week and haven't lost a lb since. I am logging all my foods and am only eating soft foods. I use about 800 calories a day and average about 80 grams of protein daily. I even have started working out four times this week. Feeling very frustrated. Any insight?
