@LJ, yes I am measuring all my meals, I carry a 64 oz jug of water with me at all times and I walk 1 hr 3 nights per week. I am unfortunately under tremendous stress and I cant sleep most nights. I haven't seen my surgeon in 6 wks and I need to meet with nut. I bought a fancy scale thats weighs bmi, water weight etc. but it didn't work, it kept saying I was 5'7. Lol! Well I made a double appt for nut and surgeon for next thursday! I pay my surgeon to help me with my weight soo I have to face him! Wish me luck!

I work from home Thank God! But My Boyfriend tells me my stomach makes the Loudest noises! Even from drinking water or hunger pains. It Never sounded so disturbing. Definately Band related!

Hey San Antonio Bandster here! Definately seeking a lap band buddy! Facing major stress relationship and Job related!!! Need to get some support.

Had my second fill a month ago. Lost 3 lbs but nothing more all month! Just got over a stomach virus this week. Violently vomiting!! For 24rs im doing more water than ever. Im am doing 1200 calories per day. Thanks to my fitness pal. Still no weight loss! I canceled my 3rd fill this week due to the fact i am terrified to look like a failure. I am determined to lose more before I see my doc. He intimidates me sooo much. I feel soo low! Even with a stomach flu i didn't lose!

Keep house chuck the scale! Hahaha! Congrats!

Yay! Got my 2nd fill Monday 3/18/13 and today I am down 4 lbs. I am thrilled that the scale moved. I am continuing to measure my meals and constantly carrying a bottle of water. Increased my walking 30 mins tonight.

Thank you! I am determined to break 190 and I am now reading all labels and counting sugars. Since I have erratic insulin issues and I am on Metformin, Sugar is quite the enemy. I have a new hop in my step and this is just a hiccup!

Got my 2nd fill today and had a major rude awakening! No weightloss!! So I revamped my fridge and definately seeking better choices. I am stumped admitted to my Doc. That I am having a hard time eating 3 meals a Day and am doing 1- 2 meals only. He kinda scoled me but bottom like he said I am maintaing due to my body going into storage mode. I hope this month is better.

My Ob took me off metformin just to see what happens. I put myself back on it and it definately messes with your stomach if you are not taking it consistantly. I also am in loEstrin 24 birth-control. I find I retain alot if water and I'm always bloated. The inches lost is evident but scale is just sitting at same weight for a month and a half now.

Im definately becoming discouraged... Im 12wks post op and about to have a 2nd fill tomorrow. I measure my meals, avoid snacking and even sometime have to remind myself to eat 3 xs per day. But I also have Pcos which made weightloss initially a battle. Just hoping I dont disappoint my surgeon tomorrow! #HateToFail#

So is anyone finding it difficult losing having PCOS?

Crystal light just came out with peach belini and pomitini!!!! They are in liquid form and are Fabulous!!

Same thing happened to me i was denied my 1st fill and had to wait till i was 2 months post op. i lost 5 lbs in 1 month and since my fill still no weight loss. Im embarrassed and go for my 2 nd fill monday. I want this to work so bad! I measure my meals and drink tons of water. I allow myself my coffee and low fat flavoured creamers. But i don't always get in 3 meals i believe due to stress. I am hoping for a fill and i will continue to work hard. Is this common to not have weight loss during first 3 months?

So I'm a Pcos Bandster and I am 3months post op this week. I was on 500ml metformin 2xs daily but since my surgery my Obgyn advised me to stop the metformin and see what happens. I have had 2 normal cycles. Im down 25 lbs but have been stuck for a month with no weight loss!!! My 2nd fill is monday but I am soo worried that I'm not losing just Maintaining. I was always good at taking off 20 lbs or then just maintaining. I measure my meals and drinks tons of water. Not to mention my side affects of PCOS are back like facial hair and hair loss. I need advice...

I'm 9 weeks out 20 lbs total since surgery but stopped losing. Finally had a fill yesterday I don't feel different I and still measuring my meals and doing tons of water. I was doing more coffee than normal lately and my stress from work has really been over whelming me. But I am excited to see what's ahead!!!

I wasn't able to get the fill due to my employer not releasing me for the day. So here I go scheduled for tomorrow. I am soo excited still not losing just plateaued! I'm trying to not be negative i don't feel as hungry and sometime have to remind myself to eat. With that being said, I still would hope to be losing since my lifestyle is changing. I am definately not the same person mentally and have a new respect for food. I hope this change becomes evident soon! Over all down 25 lbs since 12/9/12..

Those are great words!!! I woke up this morning and my scale hasn't changed much but my image in the mirror has. I can see my belly area is a lot smaller and I'm really showing loss in inches. This made me feel more positive!

Yes 850.. I do feel the hunger pains. I'm down 20 since surgery dec 7th. But I was always good at dropping 10-20 lbs. I want this to work. I'm not doing any bread that seems to give me trouble. My BFF who had it was honest and said she hadn't really changed her eating habits and the fix gave her a fill. I do zucchini lots of green veggies to stay low carb.. And try to have good protein amount daily. Maybe your right the calorie intake is too low.

I'm 6 weeks out no fill... By bestie that had it 2 wka after me just got a full. I am not losing at all! I am measuring my meals drinking tons of water, not snacking at all( never was a snacker before) I wanna march in my Docs office and demand a fill! But I mentioned that I had a hard time one day with roast and he said no fill! I'm Gettin discouraged

Still not losing just down 20 which I was always good at losing in the past. My doc kinda rushed me through the 1month post op and wouldn't give me a fill even though I wanted one badly. I mentioned I had a tiny bit of trouble with a piece of beef. I am trying daily and drinking alot water. I'm still hungry....

Thanks! I am def looking forward to it!

Getting my first fill on wed! What does it feel like?

Still have trouble swallowing and feel like I'm choking I'm soo scared to over eat. I know I'm not the same...just was hoping I would see more improvement by now...cheers to my First fill request!
