New to site lapband 11/14/03 need support!!

Hi, I am 15 weeks post op I started at 265 and now fluctuate between 225-230. I had a fill 1st time 1/25/04 .4 cc smallest fill my doctor had ever given it worked though lost 7 lbs went back 2/25/04 and no fill since I had lost and now no loss since 2/25/04. I went down 2 pant sizes my breasts and face can get no smaller!!!! I am discouraged at times because I still struggle with many foods even with such a small fill and no weight loss. I know I could be more active, most vegies are a no-no, dark chicken and fish are ok, pasta and potatoes sometimes salad on a good day. I am tight at night instaed of am like most makes no sense to me at all or Dr he just says I am a different one LOL. Any way would love to have some moral support and help me remember why I did this and am I ever gonna get to my goal I feel like never at the rate I am going 7lbs ever 2 months. Ricci

Ricci, Have you been to the lapband message board yet? It is a great group of men and women that have all had the band. I was banded on 11/24/03 and have lost 54 pounds. I had a fill in January of 1CC and don't have a lot of restriction but I do exercise a lot. I go to the YMCA 3 days a week and then do my stationary bike or Pilates at home the other days. I had not had problems with any food in particular. I PB'd on a boiled egg once but that was the only PB I had. Sometimes when I eat chicken or hamburger, it gets a little stuck and hurts but it eventually goes away. I still struggle with food and cheat at least every day with a piece of chocolate! I go the doctor on March 23rd and hopefully he'll give me another fill. Good luck and let me know what I can do to help you. You can email me privately at [email protected] if you want to. Good luck, Tisha
