I have lost roughly 23 pounds since 10/19 the date of my banding.... I am able to eat roughly two Plus cups of food at a time. My six week fill date is 11/30 and I want to know from all of you experienced bandsters should I keep that appointment? Is it too soon? It is six weeks what I was told .... I Can eat alot more than I had but I am still losing about one -two pounds in the last few weeks ..... Please let me know.......

Check out this site, it will help you determine if you need a fill or not. I go by my weekly weight loss..if I have not lost weight in 3 consecutive weeks and I know I'm making good food choices, drinking all my Water..then possibly I would schedule a fill.

Most of the time for me ..low weight loss is bad food choices and not drinking all my water..I try and stay real honest with myself and ask myself ..do I need my band adjusted or do I need my head and attitude adjusted..it is usually my head and attitude that I adjust. I have had 2 fills and do not plan on having one anytime soon..I got this fill in August and I have lost weight every single week since..I have good restriction..I have been losing 1-3 lbs a week since being banded... Good Luck

Hi, Kelly Ann, how about tracking your daily food intake on http://fitday.com for a few days? This will give you a good idea of what types of food, calories, how much exercise, etc. you're doing. Congratulations! Losing 23 pounds in one month is great!

Kelly Ann, I was banded on 10/21 and have my first fill on the same day 11/30. I am going to have it just because my weight loss have slowed down to about nothing ( no weight lose in 2 weeks) and I feel like I can eat too much. I eat about the same amount as you, which is WAY less then I used to eat. But I have to wait one more week before I can start exercising, I know with a fill and exercise I will be able to start losing again. I also need to do and MIchelle stated and start making sure that I make good food choices. I have been in to some chocolate this last week. Bad Bad girl. PMS what can you do??

good luck!
