as i am sure you wee told everyone is different. I lot about a pound a day on liquid diet, then gained 4 pounds on the soft food. then i stalled. now i am loosing the weight again. it is not melting off as i dreamed it would, but it is moving, and i am happy. I work out and i eat pretty healthy. i have lost 45 lbs. and i have gone from a tight 22 pant to a 16/18 w just today. I got my band in feb. I have had two fills (the first one was not even noticeable in the fullness factor,) this last one (last week) was much better. Don't get discouraged, just give it time to work and then work the best you can with it.
