:nervous I was banded the 12th of September. I've lost 20lbs, but have to wait until the end of november for a fill. I'm not really feeling as restricted as I did the first 2 weeks post op. I'm getting scared, because I feel like I'm going to gain all I've lost by the time I have a fill. Does anyone have any suggestions??? Thanks for all of your help and suport.

Hi there. I am also 4 weeks post band, and have lost 20lbs. I've been stuck at the same weight for the past 2 weeks!!! I should be happy with the weight I've lost, but I'm worried that I'll be stuck here indefinitely. I exercise 3-4 days a week, and I consume 800-1000 calories a day. Maybe if I begin taking my protein shake again, I'll start to see some loss?? I'm not due for my fill until the end of november. Does anyone have some advice??? Thanks!

Well, I was finally banded 9/12/06. I was thrilled!!! After months of waiting, it finally arrived. My blood sugars were through the roof, and I had just been started on medication; so it was definitely time. Surgery was great; I recovered well, had virtually no pain, and drank my liquids like a trooper. 4 weeks post op, I've lost 20lbs., but I've hit a plateu. No more weight loss, despite all of the exercising that I'm doing. I'm so frustrated!!!! I'm eating under 1000 calories, so I should be losing, but I'm not. My first fill isn't until the end of november, and I'm afraid I'm going to be a cow by then. I want to lose 10 pounds before next week, and I'm not sure how to go about it. I think I will sip on soups for dinner, and have my solids for lunch. Maybe that will help. I'll check my weight mid week..will let you know.:think
