i had surgery done Dec 30th, and have not had a fill yet but ive only lost 11 ponds is that normal or am i not doing something right.

Sounds like you're doing pretty well. Often people don't lose weight before their first fill so you're ahead of the curve

I think many of us loose then we freeze. If you look under the topic "frustrated", we all seem to be on the same boat. I think the body wants what it wants and will not give it up until it has no chance holding on, then you loose the weight. Steady as it goes, until you break that barrier.

You are doing very well. Keep following your dr's rules and you will be just fine.

The AVERAGE weight loss with the band is 1-2 pounds per week. You are at the high end with 2 pounds per week. While some people on here loose faster there are those of us who are more of 0-1 pound per week (and I stay in the 1000-1200 cal per day and do at least an hour of cardio 7 days a week.)

is that normal since i havent had a fill yet, kinda scared to go see him on the 9th didnt know if 11 lbs was good so far or if it should be alot more weight loss

Very normal before the first fill. I got banded 3 weeks ago today, and I was crying the other night because the scale dropped 15 pounds the first week and nothing the past 2 weeks. I went for a check-up and the doctor said "welcome to lapband hell- the period between surgery and your first fill"- he doesn't expect much weight loss right now. I'm quite hungry. So I have to just watch what I am eating!
