help!!!!!!!!

surgery on 11/05/07 only 11 pounds down! first fill still no restrictions!!!!!!!

My surgery was on 11/01/07, I am down 40 lbs as of 1/14/08. I make sure to get my protien in first, and watch that I don't eat a lot of soft foods. Do you dribk while you eat? This is another thing that can cause not much weight loss. I think I should be losing faster but doc syas I am doing very well. Some of our problem is not being properly prepared mentally and we still folow old patterns. What how and when you eat. Don't graze or eat late at night. Take advantage of feeling fuller in the AM. Email me if you need to [email protected]. Good Luck...Laura

Thank you for your response! yeah your right i do the sme thing i did before but i thought the band would restrict you,and its not!

It takes more than one fill to get to restriction. Pat yourself on the back. Any weight you lost before restriction is through your own hard work! Denise

how much weight have you lost?

Restriction?? What exactly do they mean by that? I have had one fill and still eat to much in my mind. What will change when I feel restriction?? Any advise would be appreciated. Even some food advise!!
