Still Learning My Band

This is my first time ever blogging, but hopefully this will assist me in reaching my weight loss goal, and with the aid of others some of my questions can be answered.   Ok, here we go:   I had the lap band surgery on October 13, 2011. It was a seamless procedure, everything went well, and I was out that night. I was sore, but no pain (thank goodness). One week later went to the doctor, and lost 15 lbs. I was happy as a bee eating honey. Then went back the day before thanksgiving (go figure) and got my first fill make it 5cc's. By that time I lost another 9lbs (still happy). Then here I go getting on the scale everyday which made me sick, especially when I did not see the numbers move, so I had to tell myself to stop weighing myself. Now I weigh every week.   I say that I am learning my band, because certain things I eat seem to go down like a rock, and I have to sit there uncomfortable until the food goes down. I know it my fault, because I still following my old habits like drinking with my food, eating too fast, and not chewing well. All number one rules I know.   The only thing is I don't know if I am doing everything else correctly. I believe that I should have lost more weight than I have it will be 2 months tomorrow. My friend is telling me that I am doing fine, and it's a slow process, which I know that's why I wanted the Lap band, but who know.... LOL   I am attempting to stay away from carbs, such as bread, and rice. Although I have had a couple of Pringles, and some fried items, but for the most part it’s been just soup, veggies and meat.   I'm exercising, but not as much as I should; I know that. I'm getting back on track. I guess at this point I am looking for suggestions on how I can lose more weight per month, and/or what are some of your best practices.
