Did anyone else not lose weight? I just had my first fill and still feel no different. I am getting frustrated. I know in time it will get better, but I was not prepaired for this. I have gained weight back that I originally lost. My Dr. is upset because I was told to eat until I got full. Now I don't know about any of you, but I am not good at telling when I am full. So I am going back to ask for very strict guidelines for my diet. So I am just wondering if others could let me know if this happened to them and let me know that once I find the right fill number that things will be better.:faint:

I had 3 or 4 fills before I got restriction. How big is your band?

NewSho,

I would kill to have a BMI of 30!!!

Jacqui---AMEN!!!

Newsho--I understand. Even back in my Weight Watchers days, when I got so close, I still felt like a buffalo with that last 20 lbs to go. I don't doubt you apprecaite how far you have come, but that never relieves how far you still feel you have to go. I sure hope you make it there. Good luck.

I started a call to action thread here http://lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=14403

I really think that some of us really do have metabolic issues, I know I do, since I've been diagnosed with one. Please take the time to read the thread.

Thank you all for your support. I had computer issues and could not get on line. I have a 10 cc band and it is really nice to know that I am not alone in this slow to start club : ) I would do it all again tomorrow, because I do feel better. I can almost fit into regular size 22 jeans (not the spandex added ones). I am going to start working out. I have always hated that part of getting healthier, but without it I will not get smaller and healthier.

okay, if you continue to be slow in your loss, don't hesitate to follow up with it!
