Rick Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I just got banded on 12/23/2009. I have the Realize Lapband and haven't had a fill yet. I go on Feb 2nd for my first fill. I have already lost 34 pounds with the BIG change in eating habits but the wieght loss is starting to taper down now. This past week I lost 3 pounds which is much more normal than the 10 or so I was loosing a week during the liquid and softs diet stage. I am very excited about the results so far and already am feeling alot better and have much more energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funmama707 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Hi! I'm about 3 weeks behind you, but not even close to 34lbs yet. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macleay Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Hi--34 pounds--way to go! I a couple of weeks behind you and haven't quite lost 20 yet. Do you feel any restriction from just the band or are you just doing a good job controlling your eating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Thanks folks for all the nice comments. I definately do feel restricted when I eat even without a fill yet. My doc told my wife after my surgery while I was in recovery that it was a bit of a "tight fit" but everything looked good. I have also been trying to watch what I eat. I found this place looking for recipes and found several here...you guys are really creative with lo-cal, lo-fat dishes and I am enjoying cooking some of these up.
