I know exactly how you feel, but actually, you are doing a lot better than me. I was banded on may 24th and to date have only lost 8 lbs. I am very discouraged! I have had 2 fills and have not felt any different after the surgery. I think what makes it worse is that before the surgery I was losing weight quicker. I go for my 3rd fill on Mon and am hoping it helps. I am hungry all the time! I have been exercising about 3 times a week and should be doing a lot more. I just hope that this band helps me soon.
