I have lost 60 lbs since 2/09 and am proud but not satisfied. Part my fault for eating habits but am going for another fill next wek. need to kick in the losing weight again.

Went to Dr. today and got another fill. I am at 6.2 cc. I lost 6 lbs this month so I am, according to the dr., 39 lbs down. He seems pleased. I feel restriction but not at all times. I hope to cont. feeling the restriction more and more. Trying not to be impatient but I know a gal that has lost 100 lbs and she is prob. 39 wks out. I am trying not to compare so patient am I and I will keep everyone posted.:thumbup:

Consider yourself lucky...u r already at 5.5 cc I was baded in Feb. and just now got to 6 cc from my docter. I am just now feeling restriction. Take it slow but until u get this under control....drink Protein drinks cause otherwise u will lose your hair.

I go to Dr. for another fill tomorrow. It has been 3 wks since my last fill. A week ago on my scales it showed I had lost a few more lbs. but it depends on Dr. scales tomorrow to tell the tale. I hope for something. We are still talking around 30 lbs. Hopefully a little more. Hanging in there!!

Thanks to all of you for your words of encouragement. I am hanging in there.

I am trying not to get discouraged but I have only lost 31 lbs and feel I should have lost more by now. I go for another fill next Tuesday...July 28. I want more restriction. I am up to 5 cc. I wish he would get more aggressive. Hope to have good news next week.

Thanks for the enlightening info. it helps alot

You hang in ther. all this discomfort will pass. Throughout this journey...do not get discouraged. Do what the dr. says and try really hard to make smart choices. You will be kinda on your own will the diet til you become restricted with the band. Unless u r one of the lucky ones and feel restriction form the get- go. I have lost 31 lbs in 2 1/2 months. Now really it has been 4 months but the dr. doesn't average weight loss til u r first filled. He said with pre-op diet etc it is the fact u kept it off until the first fill. That makes me feel more empowered. I walked at first quite and bit but have lacked on that since my son's wedding. Still full steam ahead..... Become aware of your body and habits. Go to support groups..iof not chat on line or jsut read the blogs. Everyone is so helpful. Hope to check on you soon.
