Pangeaone, Most of us did not lose a hole bunch the first month. However, the weight loss picked up for me after the third month. I got mine done at the end of Spetember. I do not know what decided the number of cc's the administer. However, just hang in there, It will get better as you go.

You have been so successful. I am doing well, but I agree with you, " I wish bad things would come back up instead of vegetables. However, I am learning everyday how to do better and although I dont understand why some things come back up and other days the same things dont, I have learned to adjust and never eat around friends, because the stress of hoping it doesnt come back is enough to cause it to be a problem. They are unaware of my suffering or the cause, but they can see the weight loss, and that is thrilling. I am committed to doing whatever I have to do to get the weight off. I have lost a lot and have a lot more to go. Thanks for writing.

All of the time. My doctor says it is normal. I throw up so easy, but I am so happy to be losing weight consistently even though slowly that I will take whatever comes with it. I know I am not getting a complete diet, because most veggies will not go down. Thanks for giving a place for us to respon (I'm 52)

I too lost slowly at first. However, talk to your doctor. He may need to tighten you up more. I lost so much on the pre surgery diet and becaem a little dehydrated in the hospital that when I got out, at first I gained weight instead of lose. It has now been eight months and I have lost about 75 pounds. The tighter my fills the better I do.

Thank goodness for your comments. I thought I was losing it and today I ask my lap band dr about the inability to eat veggies and meat. I throw it all up no matter how little it is processed. He said it is normal. So I am still eating very minimal real food. Shake for breakfast and I seem to be able to eat fish better than chicken and beef so I usually eat tuna for lunch. Cottage cheese for snack. I cant eat cucumbers, tomatoes, watermelon, green beans ........ Hope your problam gets better soon. Cecy

I want to be part of you low carb bander. I am losing too slowly and would like to speed it up a bit and I think low carb would help.
