  4. Hang in there. The weight loss will come if you stick to the program. Everyone goes though this differently. Some are able to lose weight early and quickly. Others go through the process more slowly until they reach their optimal fill levels in their band. For me, after 4 months of diet and exercise and getting about 4.5 ccs. in my band I became disenchanted with it all and returned to my old habits. I regained most of the few pounds I had lost. After 16 months a friend and fellow bandster talked me into going back to my surgeon to see what I could do. He told me that I needed more fill in my band to get the benefits from it. Wow! was he right. I'm now at 6 cc's. The difference is amazing. Now, I can't really eat more than about 4 or 5 oz. of food at a meal. And for the first time in memory I have pretty much lost my desire to snack and graze. I even have to be careful about getting my proteins like the doctor told me, and I am losing weight steadily every week. So once again, hang in there. Use these first few months to learn to chew small bites, eat the right things and get into new habits. Because when you get to a proper level of restriction in your band, things are going to take off for you.
