We have to remember - if we lost weight easily we would not have opted for this surgery! We all have our weeks that we will lose, gain or stay the same. We have taken the first step - now we just have to remember that we are eating less, we are exersizing, we will lose weight. Hang in there!

Good morning everyone - I lost ONE pound. I am down to 211 - After a fill I thought I would lose more quickly - but as long as I am loosing I am happy! I hope you all did will this week. My kids think I need to do more - so my summer vacation is starting to sound more like boot camp: walking 2 miles everyother day, palaties 2x/week, weights and sit-ups 3 times a week - I can't wait to go back to school! (Oh yeah I am also swimming everyday that it does not rain!) Again - hope you all are losers!

HI - Hope everyone is reaching their goals - no matter how slowly they are going. I only lost 1 lbs this week - but hey is it still a loss! I got my first fill yestarday - I have to admit I was a little scared - I hate needles! He gave me 4 cc. He did not numb me - so yes it did hurt - but I did not die! I could barely drink water yestarday - this morning my morning coffee whent down fine so I had a scrambled egg w/cheese! I should have not had the last bite or so - I am very full! Hope everyone is doing well, I will keep moving so the scales will keep moving.

Sarah - you will get there - I believe I just got out of banders hell! I did not lose for 3 weeks - so I varied my walk a little. I walk 1/2 my regular walk at a nice pace. The other half of the walk - i vary my walking speed between light poles - really fast then slow.... I lost 3 lbs this week! So hopefully this little trick will help you too. I got a new scale - it measures weight, bone mass, BMI and hydration! The hydration thing is cool - because it lets me know if I am not drinking enough through the day. Remember we are all doing well - because we are trying and these posts keeps us on the right track. Starting Weight on new scale 217 This Friday 213!!! Good luck everyone, I get my first fill this Thursday! I hope it does not hurt, I hate needles!

I bought two plates - one a relish plate - pretty crystial, 3 small portions and another a bright pink plastic plate also with 3 small portions - I agree making a small plate of food is better because you don't want to waste food. I stepped up my walk - just quicker no longer. I have lost 3 lbs!!!!!

I had Dr Monash also - May 26th. Have you had your first fill? If so how much? How much have you lost...... I lost 15 lbs right off the bat - now after 3 weeks I have finally started losing again - 2 lbs.

Hi, I lost weight right off the bat - 15 lbs. It has only been three weeks - but I have not lost a things sence! I am not hungry - I never feel full or empty! I drink my 60-70 oz of water a day - I walk 2 miles everyday and still nothing! I can't emagine being a year out and not losing any more - I am with you I worked to get this surgery - and yes my kids and husband are in awe that Ihave not lost any weight! I don't know what I am doing wrong. I am sad.

By what I have read - I am just not going to lose anymore weight until I get my first fill - which truely makes me sad. I was so pumped to lose 15 pounds right off the bat - now I am back to the same old stuff as before the band. Counting calories - wieghting in with no lose.... I was just hoping there would be more. At least I am not gaining!

Wow - is that a normal thing? Will the restriction finally make me lose weight? I feel like I am not eating anything and I am still just staying put no gain no lose!!! You are doing great! Yes I am jealous!!!!

Almost 3 weeks down 15 pounds - but nothing this week - no gain no lose.
