I'm thinking the same thing.. I'm not happy with my band results or my doctor. I feel like I am bothering him. I will be keeping tabs to see if you get any answers.

I'm so happy to read this. My doctor told me I would be down 90 pounds by the end of the year (I was banded Apr 29th) and has been watching me like a hawk. Their office even calls me once a week! The nutritionist puts some really weird expectations on me as well and I was worried that I was not losing enough. My Mom calls me daily with the "how are you feeling" and how much weight have you lost" questions. I really thought something was wrong with me. I just wish I had been better informed. I told him I was on the forums and he said I need to call if I have questions, not read the forums. Thanks all.

Hey all. I'm 18 days post surgery and I'm wondering if my body is just deciding it wants to hold on to every pound and not let go. I lost 17 pounds pre-surgery and I have been fighting with the last 4, these last 17 days for a total of 21 lbs. I've done everything right. Only fluids until day 10, then purees and I still have barely had solids. I work out every day and limit my eating to 800 calories MAX. Is it just me? What am I doing wrong. I'm so frustrated. I know I'm not supposed to weigh myself every day, but I'm obsessed. Plus, I have not had a single feeling of tightness or vomiting. i feel like I have nothing on my stomach. Is it just too new? Have I just been overly cautious?? I dont know what to think. My first fill is June 14th and I just cant wait to talk to the doctor.. I feel like they took my money and just stabbed me a little. It's heart wrenching. My boyfriend and Mom keep telling me to be patient... when I least expect it, I'll be down lots and that my body is recouping from the surgery. What do ya'all think? Your opinions and answers are welcome.. I'm feeling pretty desperate. :w00t:

My nutritionist put me on 2 protein shakes (140 calories each) and pureed protein with vegetables (1 meal). I am only doing what the doctors said. This is why I'm frustrated. I havent chosen any of my own foods. I have a booklet of what I'm supposed to be eating.
