Hi everybody, I am a first time poster! I was banded on the 24th of January and will have my first fill on the 23rd of March. I have lost 7.5kg so far but i thought i would have lost more by now. I am just wondering what others have lost during this period (before first fill), i am not excersing at the moment becuase i have an injured knee. I know that is impacting my weightloss. I would really appreciate some feedback, i know everyone is an individual but i need to gauge what's going on with others. I have not lost weight for the past 2-3 weeks. The dietician says that i need not to worry at this point, that my body is still recovering from surgery. for the past 2 weeks i feel like my appetite has returnded to normal. I have been able to eat everything, meat, bread, Pasta, rice, fruit, veggies (all in reasonable quantities) but i ahev been making healthy choices and keeping portions small. Having said that i do not feel like presently one cup of food is sufficient. I was previously having one cup of puree but after moving to solid food one cup isn't enough I am also the person that has become totally obseesed with food. It's amazing what an emotional/ psychological journey this is! I am not the "over indulging" type but being told i can't have something is totally messing with my head! I have had one episode of eating too much and was in the worst pain ever, other than that everything is going well. thank you in advnace for your feedback, i need to know whether i am on the right track.
