I hit a plateau around 3 weeks out that lasted until my first fill which, luckily for me, was a month after surgery. I lost slow at first, but after the 3rd fill it started coming off faster. Although it is never fast enough, huh?! Be patient and do what you are supposed to do. It will work eventually.

thanks LoseIt!!

Another thing to remember is the first phase (from surgery day until your first fill) is to concentrate on healing not losing weight. Your body is going thru so many changes right now...accepting and adjusting to the band, emotionally accepting how to and what to eat, going from all liquids to mushies to solids (this makes everyone stall)...all of this is very trying and tough for everyone. You just need to remember that you need to heal your insides first and remember that you do not have any restriction right now. Once you get your first fill then you will will have a little help and you will start to lose a little faster...then as loseit said as you get another fill it will help even more!! You are doing great, just keep up the positive attitude and all will be fine!! I wish you the very best!!

thanks Finallyncontrol, i needed to know that i wasnt doing anything wrong. i appreciate your reponse.

Sweetsagi, you are doing fine. I had my surgery June 28th. I lost several pounds but cease to lose any more weight...just maintaining. I know when I get my first fill than the weight will start to drop off. We are both in the same boat... Good Luck. I can't wait to receive my first fill as well.
