I was banded 11/27/08 and lost since then 25 lbs. but I have been filled twice since then, started aggresively exercising for the past 3 weeks and still have not lost. I can't get under 200 lbs. I eat right excercise and had surgery. what more can I do? Was or is it all for nothing. :tongue2:

How many calories do you consume? If your body is not getting enough calories your body will start to store them as fat because it thinks is starving. I posted this previously but try this tool www.livestrong.com and sign up for the daily plate. It free and track everything you eat. Also with your work outs make sure you change it up. If you do the same exact work out every day your body will eventually get used to it. Always set yourself goals and try to break them as often as possible. Good luck, be patient and the weight will come off if you are doing what you are suppose to.

Surgery Date: 10/9/2008

First Fill: 11/11/2008---3.5cc

Second Fill: 12/11/2008----1.5cc

Third Fill: 1/8/2009-----.75cc

<Total>=5.75cc in a 14cc band

I didn't get my restriction until the third fill, so , you probably just need more time if you don't have the proper restriction right now. They usually give you a full month to recover, making that the end of December... and this is the middle of february... It just takes time is all. How much have you lost since surgery?

Sorry, I just re-read it, you have lost 25 lbs.. I think that sounds great~!! You are right on track.
