Hi, I switched my user name. I didn't like the kh60050.

Anyway, that is so funny that your friend is from Round Lake. I live about 10-15 minutes from Round Lake.

I think you're doing fine. I think we all expect too much in the beginning. I almost feel like I'm failing at this too just like I have in the past with any other diet. BUT, I know and I keep telling myself to slow down. I haven't even had my first fill yet. I go Wednesday for my first fill and I'll let you know how it goes. I am a little worried because others I have talked to say they can feel their port - I can not. That worries me.

Can you feel anything inside? I can't feel anything and a friend of mine says she can feel her port. Sometimes, I have to ask myself...is it really there?

I'm not losing too much either. It really is frustrating but, it's not going to happen over night. We really need to eat healthier and I'm guilty of eating the wrong foods as well. From what I understand, we all test out what we can and can't eat. It's pretty normal. It's all trial and error. Also, I understand after our first fill - we will really be restricted and not able to eat what we're eating now. I have not worked out yet, I was told 4-8 weeks before beginning any real exercise routine. I have a bad foot and it keeps me from walking a lot.

I wish you luck. But, we have to be patient! We WILL get there!

By the way, I am 36 years old in Illinois.

Don't get discouraged. I was banded on Feb 20th and I lost 11 lbs in the first week and about 5 more since then. Now, I'm at a stand still. I get my first fill on April 1st and I'm hoping I will see more results. You're not alone.
