Okay, so I weighed myself this morning and I lost three pounds in one week after my second fill. Is this good? Will I keep losing the same amount of weight every week? I am happy today, but wish the process could speed up.

I just wanted to add that since my second fill, i now feel full much faster. I can say that I am eating half of what I eat before. I feel the restriction now. Its hard to eat tortillas and bread. I have to teach myself to chew my food properly and take small bits. I weighed myself last Thursday and get back on the scale tomorrow. My goal is to lose at least 3 to 5 pounds a week. Is this reasonable? Wish me luck you guys. I guess I wanted to see results much faster because I had the surgery done two months ago and still look and feel the same. Thank you for all your support and advice.

There was nothing wrong with having the surgery done in Mexico, the doctors and the staff were great, the hospital was clean. Very professional people. Good luck with your surgery.

When I had my first fill at 2cc after the third day being off the liquid diet I ate for breakfast two Special K bars nonfat yogurt and a fruit, for lunch I had half a chicken breast half cup steamed rice half cup green beans and small green salad with lite dressing, for dinner I would have tuna sandwich on wheat bread and a fruit. I followed this diet for about a week. That's when I decided to go back and get another fill at 1cc because I was not eating a third of what I used to eat. We'll see what happens on Thursday when I start eating solids again. Dr. Martinez did not remove the 2cc when I went for my second fill, he just added the other fill. Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement, I know it would'nt be easy.

I was banded on August 24, 2005. I lost 10 pounds the first week and gained 4 pounds back once I started eating solids. I did not feel any restriction when eating. Finally I had my first fill on Oct. 3 and I lost 4 pounds the first week, again after eating solids I didn't feel any restriction. I ate about the same amount as I did before. I went back for a second fill yesterday. the first fill was 2cc and second fill was 1cc. I feel disappointed with myself. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I hear the stories of people losing 30 and 20 pounds the first two months. Well, I'm close two my second month and have lost a total of 10 pounds. What can I do to lose the weight. My stomach growls all the time from being on the liquid diet after the fill. Does the band really work?

Okay, so I weighed myself again today... and gained 1 pound. What am I doing wrong? Isn't the scale supppost to go down every week and stop gaining weight since I now fell the restriction? I don't drink after I eat and I know for a fact that I'm not overeating at all. I feel so discouraged. I am not truly seeing the results I expected. I am very disappointed with the band.
