I am 8wks post-op and I just got my first fill 2weeks ago and I haven't lost anything since the fill. I think I thought the surgery would make my weight come off magically.

People do it to make themselves feel better about their body image. Either ignore it because you are BETTER than them and doing great or come back with a witty comment. LIKE... I can lose weight but you can't change being ugly. LOL you get the idea.

I ate pork skins like crazy. Tuna, spinach dip. Hope that helps.

I'm having a terrible week. I get my fill this Thursday and I am hoping it will restrict me. Right now I am eating complete junk and way 2 much of it. I'm very depressed. Then I get on this website and everyone says they lost 15-30 lbs. really quick. I'm 7 weeks post-op and down 14 lbs. What am I doing wrong? Will a fill restrict me from overeating?

I told everyone way before my surgery and I personally REGRET telling people. People judge you and expect the weight to fall off like gastric patients. They watch everything you eat. Me personally I wouldn't tell anyone u didn't have too.

I take Flintstones and they r YUMMY!

Trust me if you are getting lap band you can't starve yourself in 2 weeks. We have some extra to sustain us. LOL. If you start feeling shaky drink some juice. Good Luck and hang in there.

I am 3 1/2 weeks post-op and I feel like i'm eating too much. I really don't feel full is that because I haven't had a fill yet? I haven't been sick yet or anything from overeating.:frown:

I had my surgery on 9/13. I lost 6lbs in 6 days and haven't lost anything since. I don't understand... especially being on a liquid diet. I'm getting really depressed because everyone says the 1st month they lose quickly and i'm not. HELP.
