I had my lapband on August 6th and lost 15 pounds within a week and now I have gained 2 pounds back. I know that this should not freak me out but I am so scared about failing at this! I have only been eating between 300 and 500 calories a day, and I know that I have not gotten all my proteins in on somedays... is this normal? I go back for my 2 week post op this Thursday and I am nervous!

Hi, April. I just created a new FB account and friended you!

Funky Monkey - You are doing sooooo great! I hope I have the success that you do!

@oklahomagirl1970- I will have to get on and look for you!!

@hmj2015- thank you soon much! It has been a tough road! But has definitely been worth it!

Weight loss will start again! Mine is slow now and I am definitely not where I want to be. Keep your heads up and don't give up!

I just had lap band surgery yesterday. My father had it done a little more than month ago, he has lost 22 pounds, he gained 4 pounds at the end of week 3 but it came right back off. He had his first fill yesterday and his doctor said the slight gain was totally normal.

I felt the exact same way. I was banded Aug 6th also and I just had a fill last week. I was at a stand still on my weight loss until I had the fill. I am very fearful that I am not gonna succeed with the band. My hardest times are when I at birthday parties, or out to dinner.....I get moody and depressed because I can't eat like I used to but yet I'm happy at other times.

You will not see the real weight lost tell months 3 and 4 because you have to find your fill number and they start you off slowly to find that number

I am slowly losing interest in food

lol I wish I was!!!
