That is awesome! Congratulations!

I was banded March 1st, 2010 and with the liquid pre & post op diet lost 20lbs within 3 weeks.

Since then though I have had very little progress and my hunger is back to normal. I have no restriction after the first two fills. I have my next fill (#3) scheduled Tuesday and am a little frustrated. I was hoping to have more help with things by now. Of course, I have also lost momentum with my dedication and need to play by the rules.

Did you notice a big change in progress after restriction? How many fills did it take before you were stopped from normal eating? I am curious if anyone else questioned if Lap Band was the right decision between the first couple of fills. I would feel more confident if the restriction was there stopping me from my bad habits. I kind of feel like a failure so far.
