I am so glad to read this! I have been eating Wendy's chili (making sure I chew really good before swallowing) ! I might just stop and get some after work too!

I guess I am convinced I haven't lost anything since the doc's scales in the hospital were less than the one his office. My ticker reflects weights at home. So conflicting. My clothes fit different and that matters more...

I had this procedure done just about two weeks ago (12/31/14). My surgeon calls it the iband. but its the same thing. I am eager to get restriction (scheduled for 1/29/15), because only after a few days post op, I was already feeling pretty hungry. Thankfully, I am not able to over indulge the feeling. I would like to stay full for longer than 2-3 hrs. I lost a small amount, but nothing like what I read in the forums right out of the operating room. I have been cleared to do aerobic exercise so hopefully that help.

I'm in the same boat. I was banded ten days ago and the scale hasn't moved (other than me kicking it). I, however, put on a pair of jeans today that still had the belt (closed) on them from before surgery.... And I had to move it in several holes. So as frustrated with the scale that I am, that totally made my day. I just try to keep on program and know that it will happen.

Thank you for posting this. I was wondering where mine is because I cannot feel it. I was banded 10 days ago and have my first follow up on Monday . I was starting to wonder if they had really done anything more than 5 incisions. Can't feel port and two days after surgery I am super hungry :-)

I was wondering the same thing. I was banded under two wks ago on a Wednesday. By that Saturday, I was already "hungry". I haven't over done it, following Drs orders. But I was wondering if my first fill will curtail my hunger pings. First fill is about two wks away.
