When Do You Start Losing Weight?

[sharklove82 10]

Hi, I had my band 6/26/12, lost a total of 25 lbs so far. But have been at the same weight for 2 Weeks. I have 5 cc in my band. So back to my question when will the weight start coming off? When I get restriction? Thanks in advance

It all depends on your food choices and exercise. There is not set time for the weight to come off. A lot of people plateau at some point and have to jump start weight loss by changing something up like new exercise routines

I have to agree with the above response. Now that you have lap band, you have to eat right and exercise. I thought the weight would come off better with lap band, but the truth is the only way to lose weight is dieting and exercise. I have had my lap band for 2 1/2 years and the only weight i have lost is the first 25 lbs.

I Agee with with above responses. For me personally, exercise is non negotiable if I expect to lose weight. If you're exercising 5 days a week and still not losing, increase the intensity.

You've lost 25 pounds in a month!!!! You also have 5cc's which is a huge amount of fill for someone at your stage. This is a will power diet until you get restriction. Both for food portions AND food choices.

Ar you exercising? Until I went back to work after being unemployed I was doing up to 2.5 hours 7 days a week and loosing less than a pound a week.

Well first I'm following the diet to the t. I have anxiety about getting stuck so I try my best to follow everything my doctor says, plus I exercise 5 days a week. maybe I'm just anxious. I didn't put this weight on over night so its not coming off over night.
