I feel you guys on the scale. I think I am going to ban myself from it for the first few weeks until my 1st fill appointment.

Tomorrow is my first fill! Just A month post-op. I really need it, I feel that everyday I have less restriction and I'm eating a little more. I haven't gain any weight but my goal is to lose it all! I can't wait to start loosing again like right post-op despite this fact, I'm feeling great! So much active and with so much energy, love it!

I love the energy. That would be worth getting the lap band all on its own. The losing weight would be a bonus. :-) I haven't felt this good and active in years and I am only two weeks post op. I can't imagine further down the road, but I'm looking forward to it.

I was banded May 17th and so far from pre-op to now I've lost 29 pounds. At the time of surgery, my surgeon put 4.5cc of saline. I had my first fill 2 weeks ago (1cc) and my next is June 24th. I almost feel like I'm losing rather slowly but I don't feel a lot of restriction and I'm hungry quite a bit. Anyone else experiencing hunger. Sorry, if you've already discussed but I haven't read through all the posts.

I was banded may 29th. From pre op diet 5/16 to now down 30 pounds! Only 4 weeks post op on soft foods now. My first fill not til July 12th. No hunger only consume around 600-700 calories a day. Feeling great! No pain no problems eating but being very compliant! Eating slow and small bites. Very satisfied consuming bout 60 grams Protein a day. Will carry on! Feel so much better. Have R/A and my arthritis pain is much improved. Good luck to everyone. It's not easy and everyday is a challenge . I have always loved food.< /p>
