I am new to this site and new to the lap band. I am almost 5 weeks post op, and I have had a fill. My first fill was only 1cc. (i'm not sure if that was common or not.) What i am a little worried about is, if I am eating 1000-1200 calories a day and working out, burning 350-470 calories a day, why am i not moving at all in weight? am I doing something wrong? I know i am getting enough protein, and enough water. Maybe i am expecting too much too fast. If anyone has any ideas as to what i may be doing wrong, please let me know! Any help would be good help! thanks

thanks again people for helping me. i have been and will continue listening to the professionals on what i should do, i guess maybe the more fills i get i will be eating less calories. i'm just kinda bummed because i was told by the surgeon that the average loss is 30 lbs the first month and i have only lost 12. BUT i wont let it get me down! afterall everyone is different! for only being the first day of being a memeber, i am sure glad people like all of you take time to help us who are not so sure of what we are doing! thanks again, i truely appreciate it!

You just know what she should be doing to help her

i didnt take it as you were being too harsh! you are right, they went to school for a reason. she isnt new to the lap band. they have been doing it here for 10 years i believe. so i'm sure she knows what she is saying! thanks for your input!
