DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted July 2, 2012 You said you are eating like you did before surgery. That is the problem. You must change your eating habits for a lifetime, including smaller portions (no more than 1/2-1 cup total per meal) and make healthy food choices. It's also possible (likely) you don't have good restriction yet. Have you had fills? Btw, 37 pounds is a great loss. That's over 3 pounds a week. I'm not sure what you expected but that is a lot. 3 jeani81, 2muchfun and fericito reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWgirl 574 Posted July 2, 2012 1. You should probably call your Dr and schedule an appointment to see about a fill. 2. Have you seen a nutritionist? 3. The band will not stop you from eating crap. 4. If you want to lose weight until you hit the green zone, you need to diet. Last, you've lost 37 pounds in two months! That is great. average is 1-2lb per week. 1 fericito reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c945105 16 Posted July 2, 2012 If it makes you feel better my surgery was 4/20 and I'm at 21lb. I'm working hard but have no restriction. I'm not defeated as I know it will get there. I look forward to my next fill in a week and hope it helps a little. Sounds like average on this board is 3-4 fills to feel restriction. It's a journey not a race I like to think of it. 1 2muchfun reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2muchfun 8,927 Posted July 2, 2012 Are you serious? Is this a joke? 2 months and 37 lbs? What were you expecting? Sorry if this isn't one of the supportive type responses but there are hundreds of bandsters who would switch places with you. tmf 9 fericito, Ginny33, ygarza and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
running_scared 125 Posted July 2, 2012 I was also banded April 20th, and I've lost 10 pounds since surgery, and I'm thrilled. (For people confused by the ticker below, I lost a decent amount in the months before surgery). I think you need to do some more research about the mechanisms that make the band work, and how you should eat to maximize the effect. 3 2muchfun, DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! and fericito reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
