Hey Tammy.

I was banded in dec and have just lost a little over 30 pounds. It is going much slower that i expected but atleast i am losing. I just had my 3rd fill last week, my doctor is very conservative with the fills but i guess in the long run it will be better for my overall health. But right now i am losing faith.

Looks like we are all in the same boat. I was banded 12-29 and have lost 30 lbs. 22 of it was in the first 4 weeks on the liquid diet. I am getting another fill

next week, and I am hoping that will get me losing again. I am rather disgusted.

I was banded on Dec 14th 06 and have lost about 60 pounds. But recently I have really fallen off the band wagon as far as watching what I eat and exercising. I am a junior in college and when I was at school usually had time to go to the gym for an hr/ hr 1/2. And since our food was crappy I didnt really have to worry about overeating! But now that Im home I work 11 hour days, and have 4 hours once I'm home to cook clean and spend time with my fiance. So... it kind of leaves me in a rut and I'm starting to get depressed about my slowing loss.... Maybe its just the 6 month thing...we all seem to be a little down these days...

Don't get discouraged! Just try to eat the Protein first. You have lost twice as much as me. I just got another fill yesterday and I don't think I can eat yet.

Do you think another fill would help you? I really didn't want to get one, but now I see that's exactly what I needed.

Hi Tammy & everyone else!

I was banded in Dec. '06

I just had my 2nd fill last week. I don't understand why I still don't feel much restriction. I haven't been doing well with my eating. I'm able to eat way too much. I can't wait to get to the "sweet spot" everyone talks about. I had oatmeal this morning, a big salad for lunch and rice with hamb. tonight. (The problem is: I still snack all day)

I think I'll try the South Beach plan or maybe counting calories. I realize that it takes more than this operation to lose the extra weight...I NEED TO CHANGE MY THINKING ABOUT food.

I've lost 30lbs. I hope to start losing again.
