Post-op Lap band newbie

Hi everyone! I had surgery 5 weeks ago in Brugge, Belgium. Lost 13lbs in the first 2 weeks, then only 2 more lbs the 3rd week, and then nothing the 4th and 5th week. I just had my band filled 2 days ago. I sure hope I can loose some more weight. I was sort of feeling like a looser (not the good kind) since my weight loss slowed down so much, and then stopped altogether. First I was very frustrated, then just depressed. And HUNGRY all the time! Any of you feel that way? Any tips you could give would be helpful. Thanks.

Janet, Just wanted you to know that we are here for you. Getting your band filled should really help with the feeling hungry part. In the beginning I struggled with wanting to drink while or right after I ate. Now that I've had my first fill 1.9 cc and made the HUGE mistake of taking a drink after eating I will NEVER make that mistake again! OUCH!!!! Are you getting much exercise in daily? And remember... Protein, protein, protein! I'm not much of a meat eater but I'm learning to like fish (which seems like the easiest thing to swallow). I would be a pro if the rules were... Eat your carbs first.... What a dream! lol Good luck and let us know how you're doing. Leisa in Katy, TX
