thanks...I have had 2 fills. Fill number one was 3CCs and Fill number 2 was 1.5 CCs for a total of 4.5 CCs. I am watching my portions and am eating around 800 calories a day...prior to surgery I was eating around 2000 a day....

I had my surgery on Jan 14th 2008. In the first 10 days I lost 13 pounds....now that I am 10.5 weeks out I have only lost 12 pounds. I have a 10 CC band and I have 4.5 CCs in it. I am eating hardley 800 calories a day...shouldnt I be loosing A LOT more weight than I have? I know people that are doing Jenny Craig that are loosing faster than me and I had surgery!!!!!

thanks for that....I feel better that someone else lost and then gained.....

Thank you for telling me this....I was in tears and everything this morning. I felt like a failure and like this surgery was not going to work for me. I apprecaite you following up with me!!! Smiles,

I am 2 weeks out and in the first 10 days I lost 13 pounds now over the past 3 days I have gained 2.5 pounds back.....I have not changed what I am doing or eaten more, still on blended foods. Why would I gain weight eating so very little (less than 1000 calories per day) Maybe someone else went thru this... Help!

I am two weeks out and lost 13 pounds in 10 days and now all the sudden I have gained 2.5 pounds....has this happened to anyone else? I am still eating blended foods. It is so discouraging when you arehardly eating anything and you see a gain of any kind. HELP....scared this lap band surgery wont work for me....:rolleyes2: Thanks!

I am glad that I am not the only one...You are excatly right....I am walking on pin and needles waiting for the "real" recovery. I should just feel blessed that I feel so good. :rolleyes2: I am still on liquids, but I can hang with 99% fat free Cream of chicken soup everyday....it is so good. Thanks for your feedback

WOW....I am so happy that people are so honest on here. I am craving a big bowl of pasta.....but I know I cant have it so I drink a protien shake and deal with it. Now I feel like there is not an option to "cheat" I have to stick to it.....

I was banded on 1/14 and am feeling great! I am just a little sore in the tummy but have lost 13 pounds and am back to work and doing great. Is it unusual to feel this good. I have had no issues eating or drinking the protien shakes. :tongue:

I was banded on 1/14/08 . I feek great and have lost 13 pounds.
