I had my plication done on dec. 2 and can't believe how slow the wight loss is. I lost more weight on the 2 week pre op diet than I have the last for weeks. I have only lost 8 lbs in 4 weeks. I dont understand why, I can only eat very small portions and only at meal times. I added my calories at about five hundred a day and have started exercising. This doesn't make any sense. Did I waste my money, it seems everyone else loses weight real fast on here, starting to get very depressed.
