How often do people weigh themselves? I was banded on 12/2/11 and only lost 8 lbs pre and post surgery so I am crazy about weighing myself every day and then getting discouraged what do other people do, I feel like I am not lloosing as much weight as others and I had one fill and I am not eating alot.

thanks everyone going to try that!

Hi everyone again so I got my first fill last week and it took some time but since Sunday I have been able to eat only a little. I am scheduled in another 2 weeks for another fill but I am scared then I really won't be abke to eat anything. It's weird cuz I read so much that u don't even feel Any restriction till the third or fourth fill and I am so full on my first fill. Also I seem to not be bake to keep down any chicken or meat I throw it back up? Is this normal? Does anyone else have this?

hi everyone i am getting my first fill tomorrow and i am nervous about what to expect pain wise and everything else.up until now i have had no restriction and felt exactly the same as pre surgery just as hungry and feeling even more obsessed about food. it also did not help that it was just the holidays so i gained back alot of my pre surgery weight loss. so will i feel different with this first fill. i am so obsessed with food now i think about it all the time more then pre surgery?????

i ate alot of bad things! i was sooo bad it was channukah i had latkas and donuts it was terrible, but now i m hoping this will help i had my surgery on dec 2nd.. when r u getting ur first fill? also does anyone know if there is a special diet the day of the first fill like only liquids or what?

hi i am really confused if you are all loosing weight without a fill then what was the point of getting banded? i had the lap band dec 2nd and have had no fills and lost only 6 ibs s i am waiting to get filled so i can start to see some actual weight loss

hi everyone again i am 12 days post op and i know i posted 10 days post op that everytime i ate i felt pain and it was like stuck feeling but now i am feeling the same exact way i felt before my surgery i am able to eat just as much as before with no discomfort so how am i suppossed to loose weight with this? i have my first fill on dec 27th does anyone else feel this?

ONCE YOU GET FILLED YOU FEEL DIFFERENT THOUGH RIGHT? BECAUSE WONDERING HOW THIS HELPS YOU LOOSE WEIGHT IF NOT

Hi everyone I am 10 days post op and started my mushies yesterday. Not sure if I am eating too fast or too much but every time i eat I gave crazy pain near my chest that lasts for a few hours. Is this normal. Also I feel like i have no idea what I am doing because I am eating mashed potatoes how many calories can I eat etc,.. I feel so in the dark here please help the pain really hurts.

Thanks so much for ur encouragement looking for a band. Buddy wanna be mine lol

Thanks so did you just do shakes again because u needed more protein or why? I hate all types of shakes even milkshakes with real nice cream ! Also does this get easier do you feel like u know what u r doing more now how often in 2 months did you get filled? Are you happy you did it how gas weight loss been so far

Thanks so much.... I am so used to eating at a regular pace so I think I need to pace myself. Inhad cream of wheat this morning and felt no discomfort I also only ate a half a cup also r u making protein shakes also I haaaaate shakes i can't anymore if eating eggs etc is that enough protein or u must make the shakes?

Also in reply to my topic I have not been filled yet so if I am not even restricted why am I feeling do much pain when I eat?
