Allie2013 9 Posted June 28, 2013 I need some words of wisdom please from the Lap Band Veterans. May 22nd I had my band done. Two weeks later I went in and lost 13 lbs. Today (just barely over a month in all total) I only lost 4 additional pounds. So I'm only down 17 pounds. I struggled this past month as I felt hungry, I felt no different unfortunately. Today I got my first FILLER done at 3cc's. I'm on liquids today and puree diet the next two days. My doctor emphasized that I must not stretch my pouch. I want to succeed at this and I can be my own worst enemy. Suggestions as to how to move forward in a positive direction? Thank you for your help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenn0528 40 Posted June 28, 2013 I was the same. I was losing 1 lb a day and then... nothing. The first compliment I received at work was to get new clothes, they are too baggy! So even though the "lbs" are not moving, your clothes should be starting to get lose. Don't forget that this is a long haul, not a sprint. After 6 weeks I'm down 20 lbs! I'm proud of myself and you should be proud too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allie2013 9 Posted June 28, 2013 Thank you Jenn... I so appreciate the feedback. I have to let go of the "sprint" idea too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
