Not losing weight

Hey! New to the site and needing some answers.

I had lap band surgery on June 4th, 09 and have not lost more than 12 lbs so far.  I'm frustrated and disgusted with myself.  I'm not set to have a fill until the 16th. I workout on my Wii Fit, but do not have time to walk, walk, walk like my Dr. suggested with 2 little ones at home with me. As for food, I am still on pureed foods. Can anyone help?

Hi Tracy,

You have lost 12lbs in 5 weeks which is ahead of the average (1-2lbs per week).  So keep doing what you are doing and it will start to move.  I think most people lose a bunch then stall and then lose a bunch.  Can you put the kids in a stroller and walk?  Good luck.

Ya know, I was banded on the same day, and a few weeks out I went through a stall where my weight stayed in the same few pounds for about four days, now in the last week I have lost 4 pounds. I was told by others that when you switch to reg food you tend to have a stall for a little bit. That might be the case!
