MD visit today, now -49 lbs w/no fills. Next visit in 6 weeks. Walking approx 2+ miles a day. dave

-44 pounds. Doc didn't fill me on the 7th, he said we'd wait til the 28th because I was losing weight at the rate of 2 lbs a week. I have NO restriction but I eat healthy and sensibly. I'm now up to 2 miles a day on my walking :smile: Even tho the band itself isn't causing me to lose weight yet, it's a tool for me just knowing it's there. Thx, dave

Thank you so much for posting this. I deleted this forum from my bookmarks and rarely look at it anymore becasue I got so tired of all the whiners. The Lap Band is not a replacement for common sense and you HAVE to do your part in changing your diet and following post op instructions. Myself, I've lost 41 pounds and 18 of those pounds were pre -op because I did what I was expected to do. Was it easy, no. Did I do it anyway, YES. I now walk 1 mile per day where pre-op I never walked. This week I will increase that that to 1.5 miles a day. and in a few more weeks, 2 miles a day. You have to do your part, it's that simple. I'm now 6 weeks post op. dave

-39 pounds today. I have no restriction but I'm still eating small portions as tho I do have restriction. I'm due for my fist fill October 7th. dave

ANY smoking will slow the healing process. dave

1 cup = 8 oz and your pouch should be about 2 oz. So basically your eating 24 oz a day when you should be eating 6 oz a day. dave

First fill on Oct.7th. I also have literally no restriction but I'm eating as tho I do. Walking 1 mile a day. Have stopped taking cholesterol and triglycerides meds and replaced them with 1 can of sardines a day. dave
