Questioin-3 month mark on August 4th-38 lbs down?!?!?

[thin in 2011 0]

:confused:I have a question..had my surger 5/4/10, am 38 lbs down and have had 2 fills totaling 7 cc's in a 11 cc band...should I be losing more? I only have big restriction some of the time. Will this change once I get to my sweet spot? been eating lots of Protein and doing what i am supposed to do, but still feel like sometimes I can eat more than the recommended amount.

Any suggestions?

Your weightloss is awsome! It does sound like you could use a small fill. I would talk to your doc. about it. Keep up the good work!

That is awesome that is like 3 lbs a week or almost 1/2lb a day. Totally awesome. You have to consider also that a good 3-6 weeks you were recovering from the surgery. How far out did you have your first fill? Keep up the good work. I think you are doing fantastic.

Sounds like a great loss to me!

Great loss and congrats on your progress! Restriction is a "your mileage may vary" topic, as so many with the band are.

I'm very tight in the morning, but by evening have to be careful because I could have easily fall off the wagon a lot of days. I wouldn't want my band any tighter because it would be to the point that fluids would be difficult in the morning. I just have to watch my energy balance and eat accordingly - the band sure helps that though!

Good luck and stay focused!

Mimik,

You're doing beautifully on the weight loss! From personal experience, you can still feel like you can eat more than the recommended amount. This is where our part of the job comes in. We have to 'choose' to put down the fork even when our belly and eyes say "more".
