Disapointed so far.............

I had lap band on Oct 10..initially lost 20 lbs after surgery when on all liquids..after that I went back on regular foods and can basically eat just as I did before surgery..had first fill 3 weeks ago (4cc) I still do not feel restricted ..second fill is scheduled for Jan 10 when I will receive 2 more cc..this will put me to 6cc out of 10cc...I am somewhat disapointed that it has dragged out this long and I want to feel restricted,and start losing real weight.. has anyone else experienced this drawn out process until they get to a point where they will start losing regularly?

Well, I've lost a lot of weight and have 6 cc out of 10cc and still don't really feel restriction. I have followed about a 1000 calorie food plan including 80-90 grams of protein a day and I think this is partially why I'm losing quickly. Also, I have over 200 lbs to lose and that makes a huge difference. My partner had surgery in mid Nov, follows the same plan and has lost about half of what I have. It will drag out--this is part of lapband surgery. The final restriction will be at a .5cc fill or even a .1cc. Remember this is better for your skin. Keep working at it and you will eventually be successful too.
