It's so nice to hear about what other Feb bandsters are doing. I was banded on 2/15 and have lost 30#. It is SLOW. And it seems that I won't lose any weight for a couple of weeks and then I will suddenly lose 4 or 5lbs and then gain a pound or two back. It's a yo-yo for sure. I have only had one fill. I have a 10cc band with 2cc's in it now. I will get to have another 1.5cc added this Friday. I am living with NO restriction what so ever. It's HARD! I want that sweet spot! You all are doing a GREAT job!!!! :scared2:

I also have gained 4lbs since my surgery on FEb. 11th. I was shocked and disappointed. My doctor said it's b/c our bodies have gone into starvation mode and are clinging to every last drop of liquid we are putting in our bodies. As soon as I am permitted to eat some foods high in protein she said the weight will start to come off.
