10 lbs in 28 days is not bad at all. In fact that's great! Better than not having lost anything. lol So many people would love to lose 10lbs in a month and have not the will to do it. You have the band to help you.

But always remember the band should be viewed as a TOOL not the cure. You will begin to feel more restriction each and every time you get a fill. Once that happens and you apply these new findings with your allergies as well as staying within the lap-band way of eating you will see the weight melt off. As soon as you're given permission I would highly recommend working out too.

Gaining weight didn't happen over night, neither is losing it. Keep your chin up! You can do this!

mercilessmarcy and emetyb01, why don't you join our social group "June Bugs". We have all found that weight loss right after surgery isn't happening. We are all ready to get our fills so we can see that scale go lower. Our group is great at letting you know that we are all going through this at the same time and if we see we are normal, then it eases our minds. Come join us!

The band is supposed to ASSIST you with losing 2-3 lbs a week. 10lbs in 28 days is AWESOME! That puts you at the high end of losing for the month. Sounds like you're doing all of the right things if you've lost that much in a month.

And you can have a cookie or two just not the whole dozen. Trying to omit things totally will set you up for failure. The band is a tool, use it wisely Best wishes!
