I had my surgery Sept. 12, 2012. I've had 2 fills and it feels like I haven't even had surgery. I've only lost 13 pounds and I lost that right after surgery. The difference I do notice is I'm not hungry all the time like before surgery which. That is a good feeling. I am exercising, but obviously I'm NOT doing something right because I'm not losing weight. I was doing the 30/30 rule of no liquids, but I can't tell a difference when I don't drink for 30 minutes before and after eating so sometimes I don't follow the rule. Please share if you had this happen to you. Thank you. Annette

I haven't been counting calories, but I can start doing that. I put the fit pal app on my phone. I don't feel as discouraged since y'all replied. Thanks! Annette

I am exercising. I wasn't doing so on regular basis at first, but I am now. I do it first thing in the morning. I found directions on line how to work up to running 3 miles. I am exercising every other day and trying to walk on the in between days. I am eating more than 1 cup of food. When I talk to the PA, when I get my fills, she says it may take several fills before I see results, but that could be as much at 10 more months. She will only give me a fill every 4 weeks. She told me the goal is to get to 1 cup of food, but I'm not there yet. I use to eat sugar daily, and since my surgery, I've only had sugar a few times and was very much in control when I did. I don't eat starch hardly anymore. I may have a 1/2 of a sandwich on 15 grain bread, but that is only a couple times a week. Thanks for helping me. Annette
