How Much Restriction Is The Right Amount?
pinktulips replied to telby's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@telby that's awesome...I would say that as long as you are losing at a rate you're happy with & you're staying full then you may just be getting enough from the band w/no fill. I know of at least one person on here that has lost over 100 lbs without a fill. -
Can you feel your band inside?

I can feel my port if I push on it. But I'm a stomach sleeper & I don't notice it. -
Your body might still be in recovery mode from the surgery. I'm a slow loser so I understand your frustration. I think that really keeping hydrated has started my weight loss again...oh & take your measurements vs just using the scale. If you're eating "right" & you're active, I bet you are losing inches & you don't even realize it.

I was banded in March 2011 & for me it was after the 2nd fill when I could start to really feel this thing giving restriction. You will know when it's right for you It might just take awhile then everything changes. -
I haven't been on this site for awhile...happy to see so many having so much success. Everyone have a great weekend!

Hey girl! How are you doing with everything?? I hope you're doing well and not getting to frustrated!!

Sorry for checking in 1 day late. Checking in at 238.5, down .5. Good grief that is frustrating!
-
Checking in at 239.0...no change in weight. I wasn't able to get any extra activity in last week & I think that made a huge difference in the scale not moving. I've already been to the gym today & I expect to see a drop this week.
