I;m a 7/17 bandster, too and have only lost 10 lbs. I understand that the first couple of weeks are for healing, but it seems I read how many others are losing rather quickly even before the 1st few fills.... I feel like I'm eating more during the evenings, because the mornings for me are easy slimfast for breakfast, and another for lunch....But once dinner arrives, I start picking here, then picking there.....it's mushy stage right now, but I'm more hungry in the latter part of the day....HELP!!!!
