What does it feel like if your band has slipped? Can you tell? And does anyone have difficulty drinking diet soda's?

Hey there fellow troopers. I seem to have hit a wall with weight loss. I am only a week in from being banded and I lost 13 lbs during that time. I exercise just under 2 hours a day and for the 3 days have just stayed at the same weight. Am I being too ambitious to have thought I would keeping losing substantially if I was exercising so much? I just feel a little discouraged because I have a goal as to where I want to be by December and I would be so disappointed if I weren't to get there. Has anyone else thought they had stopped losing weight for a while then suddenly it came off again?

P.s it was 13 lbs lost pre-op weight no fluids

Thanks so much for your information. You are completely right about expecting too much. I am only 22 years old and not very flexible when my mind is set on something. I definitely need to work on appreciating the opportunity for a new life and a great future rather then lamenting my past and being unhappy with what I have now. It is very helpful to hear your experience of unpredictable weight changes. I guess its only normal to lose some then gain some at times I can not wait to reach the right restriction, so that my weight loss journey continues to improve my health and confidence. I know this isn't cosmetic surgery but rather a lifestyle alteration.
