I'm supposed to have like 25g a day of Carbs no more. That has been really hard for me considering if i eat low carb cereal with skim milk that is pretty much my carbs for the day. I have had to completely cut out bread. But i did find these wheat tortillias that i put everything on. They are only like 5 carbs so i can make all types of fajitas and wraps. I cant see the weight loss in my cloths but people have said my face looks smaller. Personally i think they are just saying that, but whatever. FOr the first 2 or 3 weeks after the surgery (march 11) i couldn't eat much, about the same as you 4 oz. But now that everything is healed i can eat more which is why I have the fill on April 13, 2009. My boyfriend claims he can tell ive lost weight but once again i think that he's trying to be incouraging because he knows i'm getting a little discouraged. I've just heard of so many other people droping weight quicker immediatly after the band. I started at about 5'7 230 and now i'm 220. I'll keep you posted on the fill!

wow gamyj 14lbs is great! Are you seeing a difference in your cloths already? What have you been eating? My doctor has had me on a low carb low sugar high protein diet but i'm finding this really hard because while i can cut out bread and rice I hate having to spend 3 hours in the grocery story because i have to read the back of everything! I've been working out with it too and have lost about 10 lbs but i cant really see the difference. :thumbdown: I'm a little discouraged. When do you go in for a fill?

Hi I'm 24 as well and was banded on march 11th. I dont have any kids but i was afraid of what might happen to me while under the knife. My experience hasn't been what i thought it would be. I thought i would have lost more weight by now considering i've been working out and eating a whole lot less. How much weight have you lost so far? I'm going in for my first fill on April 13th so i hope that things will pick up after that:redface:
