I tend to be able to eat more at night then during the day - I get "stuck" alot during the day time but at dinner and after I can eat and eat! I have had one fill 2 weeks ago - could I need another? I have only lost 4 lbs since my fill and and my scale is stuck at 296.5!!!

I am trying to drink my Water - not as much as I should though.

Hi Lauren! actually, you are right on target for losing weight. The rule I've been told is that we should be losing 1-2 poundsa a week, and at 2 pounds lost in both weeks, you are going great! tick, tick, tick. One week, two pounds, week two, four pounds, week three six pounds...... It's additive, so after a month, you will have lost almost 10 pounds. Woot!

I am currently losing one pound a week, not bad for not having a fill. Of course I want faster weight loss, Iwanteverythingnow,hurryup!Hurryup!HURRYUP!GIMME!

If I continue with this rate of one pound a month, I will have dropped 52 pounds over the year. I can live with a 52 pound loss over a year! Beats the hell out of gaining 10, 15 or 20 pounds that I would probably gain, right?

From what everyone says, the concensus is that the band does get looser as the day wears on. I don't eat much in the mornings, but it hasn't been my habit to have anything in the morning but my beloved coffee.

I had a fill on 04/16 and it was so hard for me to eat for the first week in a half.

I was finally able to eat yesterday without PB. I am finally feeling motivated and I just started to be positive about my band (maybe now I can lose faster)!!

Lauren that seems to be the consensus with most bandsters. Tight in the morning and wide open in the evening. Many of us here struglle at night time due to this occurance. I try to drink alot of water in the evening to keep me from eating, even thought I pee all night it is better then the alternative of eating. I also try and stay busy in the evenings.

I can barely swallow my pills with 3 ounces of liquid in the AM 7 to 9am

And By noon I am open fine, some restriction

By 7pm I am open wide as if I dont even have the band

Then around midnight or 1am I am restricted again
