Hello everyone, I haven't been on lately, I am pretty busy with the four kids under the age 3 thingy. They keep me on toes. And then with the holidays and my surgery, it's been crazy. I also posted this on the lap band board. Okay, here is my question. I had my surgery 11/20 and had my first fill 12/20, how do I know if I have enough restriction. My doctor says if I am losing 1-2 lbs a week, I have enough restriction. However, I can eat anything I want, nothing bothers me. I am still losing weight but I work out like a maniac (I burn like 500 calories everyday at the gym and not mention what I burn chasing 4 toddlers around) and I barely have time to get in 3 meals a day let alone 6 so that is why I am losing. Any suggestions on how to get in enough food and if I have enough restriction??????? Thanks guys, Chabrel - so far I have lost 27 lbs. Woo Hoo!!!!!

Chabrel, If you are losing 1-2 pounds a week you are meeting your target loss, that does not mean you are properly restricted. It takes 3-5 fills to be adequately restricted. Dr. C
