I was banded on 5/9/2013. At the time of Surgery I weighed 320. I now weigh 291. Today I received my 4th fill and I was very disappointed because in the month of August I lost 1 lb. Im not sure if I am doing something wrong. I walk 2 miles 2 to 3 days a week. My intake is smaller. I just need some tips. My goal is to try and lose 10 lbs a month. I just need some ideas on what worked for others as I am a beginner. Sometimes I think I am being hard on myself but I really want to lose more weight. I received a fill today and I have 10cc in my band currently. My doctor told me its pretty tight but when he checked on the xray before the fill the liquid was going right through. Any suggestions would be great. I don't want to fail at this early on. Thanks in advance.

I've been using MyFitnessPal app for my phone to log food. That has been super helpful to me to know how much I'm really getting.

When i started taking Zumba the weight started falling off.... I even snack at night (not suggesting that) but I got 2 or 3 times a week and at first it was hard to keep up but by the third class it was okay!

Thank you all for your replies. I am losing inches. A lot in my waist. I haven't been getting the protein that is needed though and this maybe the problem. I am lactose intolerant so I don't do the shakes. I eat pretty good but I don't think I am eating enough and not enough protein. Just trying to get some ideas from others to see if im off track with the weight loss or just over doing it with the expectations.

I rarely have a shake yet I get in over 60g of protein everyday. Eating you protein/calories will keep you fuller longer than drinking them. Remember to eat your protein first.

Agree with all the above. Record record record! I think it is so important to track every single thing that goes In ur mouth . I use "calorie counter", but tons of good ones available. Plez don't compare ur weight loss with others as we are all so different with the rate of loss. Keep on keeping on , stay the course and don't get discouraged. Any loss is going in the right direction. Good luck!!!! :-)
