Anyone Not Lose Much Weight Between Surgery And 1St Fill??

So I had the surgery on 12/27/11 and my first fill is 2/6/12. I was down 12 lbs . . but once I started on real food I gained a couple and am now only down 8 lbs. Just wondering if I am the only one. Anyone?? Hello?? : ) I have no restriction and feel like I am always hungry. I know I need to have more discipline!! Ugh!! Feels like I'm back on WW and failing. Hoping the fill will help with that. Thanks. Don't mean to be a Debbie Downer . . Just had to vent and need a little support.

  • I'm so glad you posted this because I'm feeling the same way!

  • Sorry to tell you this - but as been posted hundreds of times, it takes several fills normally to give you good restriction. I had my surgery over 2 yrs ago and it took until my 3rd fill - 4 mths late

  • I'm with you. I was banded 1/16 and was doing great for the first 2 weeks but once i started on mushy foods I hit a wall. My weight loss has seemed to completely stall.I'll go up 2lbs then down 2lbs.

Between 1st and 2nd fills....I GAINED weight. remneber, it's all about getting the band adjusted properly to where it can start working for you productivley. That can be a few fills from surgery.
