Getting back on track

[Ang1982 4]

My problem is this. I was banded on Jan 22nd, and lost a total of 38 pounds so far. that was in the3 first 2 weeks since the operation, and the 2 weeks prior to the operation. I went in for my fill, and was given 5 cc's in my 9 cc band, and i still don't feel any restriction. I am scheduled for my next fill the 25th, but what happens if that doesn't work? I am worried the band isnt working for me. Suggestions to my predicament if you would please.

I eat less, but the scale hasn't moved since the middle of February. What should I do?

Hey Mike, hang in there. Have you done any measurements rather than just relying on the scale? I noticed when there was a period my scale wasn't really moving that my measurements were actually changing a bit. I have had my 2nd fill now and will need another one for sure as I don't really have a whole lot of restriction either - I have to remind myself to not eat. Other than that - maybe journal your food for a week or so - see where you are at with what you are consuming calorie/fat wise. The Daily Plate is a great site for that. Have you started exercising at all? *hugs!*
