I slowed down my weight loss too, it happens just keep following the diet as your Dr told you. As someone told me the first six weeks you are still healing so dont concentrate too much on the numbers. I know easier said than done. Still with me I noticed I wouldnt have drop anything especially on my period but then all of a sudden I will drop a pound or two. Your body has a lot going on and you are not going to get rid of all your weight in a few weeks but if you look at the ave for all the weeks your banded its a lot really in a short time.
