Thank you all for your replies! Even after researching the band and talking to the doc, I was not aware that the band really only helps once you get the fills! I feel much better now that I understand that its up to me and diet right now, and its a comfort to know that later the band will be there as the tool I expected. I also thank you for giving me an idea of the realistic amount of pounds to expect a week. This makes my loss feel so much better!

Thanks for the reply! I guess I just want to make sure Im on track, and it seems like a lot of people have lost so much weight already! But I will definitely get on track with the eating right and exercising so the weight will keep coming off!

I was just banded on 03-25-10, and Im still trying to get used to everything. I was very confused about what I should or should not be eating at first, and I kind of got off track by eating soft foods too early, so now Im backtracking so I can do this right. I sooo want this to work! One question I had was, do you lose a lot of weight prior to your first fill, or does the weight start coming off after the fill? I have only lost 7 pounds, and I feel like maybe thats too little? Any help would be great!:)
