Well I was banded four weeks ago yesteday. The pre-op diet was tough but I was so excited and determined, I dropped ten pounds. Two weeks later I was down another 20. Realistically, I knew it wouldnt keep falling off like that. I dropped nothing, zip zero this last week. I have not had a fill yet. My doc wanted to wait till week six but when I called yesterday and said "help I am starving to death" he agreed to see me next week. So I know 30 is awesome for me not even having fills yet but this is tough.Every day every one says "well how much have you lost now" I feel like I am sooo being watched. And to top it off, I have always had huge breasts and now that 30 is off my gut it is like they have little beacons on them (breasts that is) because every one men and women look at them. I want to wake up and be down thirty more by the weekend.I dont know how to be patient and I am scared to death this is not gonna work for me, it will take 20 fills for restriction or something crazy. My biggest fear from the get go is that this will not work. I will fail yet one more time. Any body got any advice for a hungry paranoid inpatient "big Girl"?

as always, thanks and God bless.:thumbup:

You will be fine, this is a wait and see game. You have done great to already have lost 30 pounds. Remember your body has to adjust to that and then you will start losing again.

I started off kinda the same way and since the weight loss has been alot slower but steady. I run into weeks where I dont loose anything and then I will start losing again. Just keep your chin up and it will happen for you.. Congratulations on what you have already accomplised!

Just hang in there Im in the same boat with the ta-ta's, They seem to be growing as the weight comes down, Sooner of later it will have to come off there too. The days don't seem to go fast enough, My 1st fill is not for 3 weeks nad Im dreading it I dont feel well after each meal, stomach full chest distress, I fiqure that is the deterent to eatting, What ever works Just hang in there, Most responses are positive so hope it will turn around
