I wad banded 4/6 and lose 1-2 lbs per week but for me even though I get on the scale about once or twice a week I try to make my official weight a day or so after my cycle.because I can gain 2-5 lbs the week before then the week of the cycle with bloating etc.so for me if it looks like I haven't lost in a couple of weeks I see what time of the month it is.if it's before my cycle I'm not so worried if it's right after then I try to see what i may not be doing right or have changed.

How much food are you actually eating? My doctor says 3 oz solid potein plus low fat/cals/carbs veggies. How long can you go after eating before feeling hungry? Is it less than 4.5-5 hrs? If it is you need more fill. It can take up to 2 weeks for a fill to take affect. Before true restriction you get some restriction with a fill but it can go away a couple days after the fill.

food choices this is a big one. Sorry but the wheat thins and fries have to go. There are about 120 cals in about 10 wheat thins. Trust me that's not a lot of crackers. People normally underestimate the amounts they are eating.

As mentioned earlier your exercise habits are another important aspect. My doctor says at least 30 minutes a day 7 days a week.

I am at restriction, exercise 1.5-2.5 hrs 7 days a week, eat less than 1200 and lose less than 1 lb a week.
