Hang in there. I havent lost much either (3-5 lbs in 2 months) i've had to fills and now have 5cc in a 10 cc band, and it's not enough, i still dont have enough restriction at all. i can eat over a cup of food if i eat slow enough. i know thats the choice i make, i can't stop myself, so i lose SLOW. i go for a fill in 3 weeks and i will be lucky if i'm down a pound. of course i dont exercise as much as i should. i want to be realistic about this, i know i wont be a gym person or a marathon runner, so why dump money into it now so i can fizzle out of it in 6 months. if i lose slow, i figure it will be a normal slow, not a run around with my head cut off, exercise freak, fast losing different me. i want to stay me, but in a smaller body. does that make sense? anyways, i just hope my next fill will be the ticket. good luck shurmeka.

I would get an appt with the nutritionist that works with the group. Maybe you need to change something up? I lose more when I eat a certain way - I lose almost nothing if I do a near fasting diet. Not sure how long post op you are but it took me over a month to see results so don't give up on it!

No worry, it's not 1 day visit but it's over a lifetime. Go forth face the fill and start your day (life fresh).

Thanks everyone! I only lost one pound at weigh in today and they all looked at me so disappointing. I am never going back! They kept asking me why was I eating more than 1/2 cup of food and I kept saying I only feel a little full at 1 cup and she said to stop at 1/2 a cup regardless. I had the surgury because I can't stop if I don't feel full Lady!!!!! If I can stop at 1/2 cup without feeling restriction what was the point of the surgery? After my 5th fill today she said I am at 5.5 cc's which I thought I already had that amount. Well, I scheduled another appointment in Dallas next week.

For me, eating is an ADDICTION. Telling you to stop eating after 1/2 cup is like telling an alcoholic to stop after 1 sip. WE have to eat to live, we need food. it's not like just stop going to the liquor store. I got the band because i needed HELP. I agree with you that if you're not feeling restriction, whats the use having the band? I couldn't do it on my own before. I really really need the help. I'm not losing much, but i'm always looking forward to a good fill that will give me restriction and actually make me feel FULL after that /2 cup of food. i beleive it's out there, i just need patience and not lose my mind when i'm having a hard time with no restriction. hang in there with me shurmeka, we're truly in the same boat. we'll get there eventually!

I agree with everything you said! I do believe I will get there. I am on day two of going to the gym and that eliptical is not a joke!!! I am sure if I stick with the gym it will help me burn those calories!
