I'm a year post op and had another fill yesterday (I've lost count on how many that makes) and I finally have the restriction I need. (I think) 7.8cc in 10cc band. Today is 1st morning I didn't wake up hungry since band. I have lost 58lbs over last year and got 25 more to go. I hope this is it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Just curious as to everyone's calorie intake while in the active weight loss stage and then for Maintenance after reaching weight goal, after Lap-Band surgery? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How many calories are most of you taking in. My doctor tells me no more than 800 per day but being a nurse I have the same concern as ErinMarie. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Your true weight is morning weight before in take. You will weigh differently in the evening as you're body holds on to fluids throughout the day. You are doing well losing at 4 weeks post op. I was 200 and I am 3 months post op and lost 22lbs so far and have not cheated. Following doctors recommendations. Remember first few months is about your body healing from surgery. I just got my 3rd fill and I think finally in the green zone this week. Yay!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I just got my 3rd fill yesterday. Surgery was 2/25. I am only down 18lbs since banded. I fill completely different after this fill. I am hoping to be in the green zone now. Fingers crossed. I have not been feeling much restriction up till this point. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
