Hi Everyone,

I am only one month out, because I was banded on August 31st. How are all the others doing who were banded the same month? Speak up and let us know how you are feeling and what progress you have made so far.

Me too, I am trying not to weigh myself every darn day! LOL

My surgeon actually recommends weighing daily. The idea behind doing so is so that any upward fluctuations that happen can be managed before they become larger gains. I know the past couple of weeks fighting with the same two pounds for me has been frustrating, but I think weighing daily keeps me honest. It does cause me to pay very close attention to what I am putting in my mouth, because I very much want the number on the scale to start going down consistently again. I know that the many times I did Weight Watchers I felt like I could be "bad" for a couple of days after a weekly weigh in and then would starve myself for a couple of days prior to weigh in. I actually feel like less of a slave to the scale by weighing daily than only doing it once a week. Maybe I am just odd LOL. Can't hardly wait to see how my first fill impacts my progress!

Hi all!! I was banded on August 5th and so far have lost 26 pounds. My appetite has picked up a great deal and i have minimal restriction. I do go for my second fill on the 9th of October and am hopeful that it will do the trick. It is VERY frustrating!!! But I am hanging in there. I know that i probably should not be complaining and nobody else understands this but I know that my LBT family will. When you lose and gain the same 2-3 pounds every week, it is so frustrating. And I can eat WHATEVER and HOWEVER much i want so all of this weight loss thus far has been COMPLETELY willpower and not band..I am so hopeful that this 2nd fill does it for me. I am not expecting "magic" but I am expecting help,restriction or whatever word you want to give it...I exercise 4-5 days per week..just really frustrated right now and wanted to vent..Good luck to everyone and I will keep you posted!!
