This is my first post. I joined and lurked and read for awhile. I've gotten a lot of useful info from this forum.

I am 10 mo. out and have lost 100 lbs. and it seems like the last few I want to lose are going much slower.

I love my band.:clap2:

This is my first post and I do not know what I am doing. Not very computer smart. Had my surgery Feb 27 2007, first fill April 6th and I cant tell any difference than before the surgery.I realize it is a tool, but I feel like my tool is not doing its part. I am very unhappy and scared as of today.

You are newly banded so you probably have no restriction right now. It does get a lot better with fills. You probably should have started your own thread I think so that people will know you are also a new poster. I'm 10 mo. out so I will be happy to help you in any way I can.

I am trying to schedule for June... so, usually how many fills does it take before you notice a difference? In general, of course...I understand everyone is different..Thanks!

Ugogirl,

I know how you feel. I always want quick results. I realize more & more every day that it is a slow gradual process. I am still learning to live with my band, make right food choices & not rely so much on the scale.

I lost 23 pounds so far & only now are people beginning to ask "Have you lost a little weight?" My face, hand & feet are not puffy like they used to be & I am feeling better physically.

I didn't lose for three weeks straight, then it started coming off slowly again.

I have to keep a food journal or else I will overeat on calories. Also, undereating can realy slow down your metabolism.

Hang in there!!!

Thank you for the information. I don't have time to keep a journal and my work hours are oh what the heack anything i say would sound like an excuse. I just can't seem to get my head in the game. I just expected more I guess. I am trying to not eat as much, but I know I am still making the wrong choices. It was not until today that I had stuff come back up. I still drink when i eat . Since I have been doing that all my life It just does not seem like I will every make that change.I am never feel hungry I just eat.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
