Thanks for all your comments! 3 lbs a week would be great but I'm looking at 3 lbs total in the first 3 weeks so of course I'm a little stressed. I'm headed to the doctor tomorrow so we will see. Thank you for sharing your experiences. @@jansluv and @@Wayward Traveler I appreciate your reassurance and am inspired by your progress. I hope in a few weeks the results will be different.

I had my balloon placed on July 11 and I'm very frustrated. I honestly had a very easy time the first week. Some nausea and cramping but no vomiting at all. Placement on Monday and went to work on Friday. I have had a very easy time with my diet though the first week of course I ate very little but even the second week I felt very little restriction and had no reflux at all. Last Friday that seemed to all change which I actually welcomed because after all the physical reminder to eat less is what I paid for as assistance to my weight loss efforts. I think my frustration is because the weight loss part just isn't happening. I am not at all looking for the magic pill. It seems to me that just by the numbers of calories in, calories out I should have lost more than 3 lbs. I go to the gym 3-4 days a week, I have a personal trainer and I'm eating less and cleaner but just getting frustrated. I guess I'm scared that I'm the one that the balloon won't work for. Anyone else start out SUPER slow and then the weight loss picked up? Thanks for your responses in advance.
