Ok I have done this myself.

Now I was banded in March 2008 and I have lost only 23 pounds so I am one of the slow losers but thats ok I have lost so many inches its just crazy. Are you working out at all.

Also the doctor will tell you that the first 6 weeks after surgery is not for weight loss but for healing.

Keep that in mind.

When do you go in for a fill?

I am getting ready for my next fill on July 29th.

Hoping I hit my sweetspot this time.

I have 5.5 cc already in a 10cc band.

Keep your head up you have lost 13 pounds in a month that is fabulous.

Tp

I have started exercising and I am really sore. My scars are healing really fast and I have not weighed since the other day when I whined. I am trying to think as positive as you so if I am a slow loser as well I won't get frustrated. It is hard because I feel like my portions are down like 80% from pre surgery. People are noticing or so they say so that is a good thing. I feel great since I have gotten off of the caffiene as well. I never realized that would make me feel so much better. Talk to you soon.

I am all for this. Sunday will be the big day to weigh. I gave in and weighed today and I was disappointed, no loss in the last 2 weeks.Had my band 7/01/08. Reading and posting on here sure helps though. My first fill will be 7/28/08. My husband said I worry more about food than I used to, but I have to plan ahead now, and it is all so new. I have not let myself eat anything not healthy. Gave up all cold drinks. Now it is only water or tea. I don't miss it.

Lets keep the Sunday date.

Join us if you will.
