I think you are doing fine. I also question if I am losing enough weight. I had to go in yesterday for a fill 2 weeks early. I only lost 2 pounds after a month of my first fill. I don't know what is a lot but now I have 4cc total. I have only lost 17 pounds so far and I am 2 months post op. Do you find it hard to know the difference between feeling full and restriction. Many times I feel hungry still but no more food will go down. Dont' be discouraged, you seem to be on the right track!

Definitely don't listen to what other people said. If Lap-Band didn't work, insurance wouldn't pay for it. I also had mine done on Feb 9th. I'm really sore, especially on my left. My stomache is also swollen a little. My stomache growls after I had eaten. I heard that is normal. You should be experiencing gas pains and burping. I mostly get hiccups, but they're not too bad. Just walk and relax your mind and everything will get better. I know I am healing slower than I anticpated but I'm beginning to manage.

So Monday is my surgery and I have done everything I possibly can to prepare. I am so excited. I joined this community hoping to find people just like me and answers to questions doctors just can't answer. A lot of people ask me if I'm nervous and I'm not. I'm just really anxious to start losing weight. I've been slowing gaining weight since the birth of my son 4 1/2 years ago. I can't wait to be back to my normal self. I'm 31 year sold and I've got to get this under control before I get too old. The strange thing is I love to be active but since I have over 125 lbs of extra weight on me, nothing is fun to do. My back hurts, my legs fall asleep, I swell, I sweat, I lose my breath. It's crazy. I always notice that I am the fattest person in the room. I can't wait to start losing weight so I can do all the things my friends do. I'm looking to add friends, so hit me up!
