Hi,

I had my band 7/20/07. I weighed 241 at surgery and am now 225. I actually fluctuate 1.5 every few days, so I am 223.5 or 225. I got my first fill on 8/20/07 and lost 5 pounds within a few days. Since then, it has been only 1.5 pounds!

I am frustrated. I feel like I am not losing very fast. I wonder at what rate other people are losing the weight. I exercise 4x per week at the YMCA for 1 hour, walk on alternate days and my daily calories average about 800 per day.

I had my surgery on the same day as you did. I have lost a total of 30 pounds including my pre op, but I have only lost 14 pounds since the day of surgery. I too was averaging about 800 calories a day. I just got my first fill yesterday. I am on liquids for two days, and so far I don't feel restricted. I hope once I'm back to eating solid food, I'll feel more restricted.

I weigh daily. It helps me to stay focused. I may frown at it and call it a name or two but I tend to eat better when I know where I'm at. I got this big because I wouldn't get on the scale. If I don't see the numbers going up then it doesn't exist.&

Yikes I'm in a crisis though! I'm going out of town for a week and I won't have my scale!!!

It is going to drive me crazy!!:faint:
