went in for a fill, but the doc suggested to wait.....

I had a fill about 4 weeks ago and was suppose to have another one Friday, but I had lost 5 lbs, so the doc said that I was doing good and said that I didn't need one.  I have 4 1/2ccs in my band and really don't feel any restriction.  I guess I'll go back in 4 more weeks and see if I am still loosing.  Sometimes I get frustrated because I'm not loosing fast enough.  Oh well, I've lost 33 lbs in 6 months and would love to loose 40 more in the next 6 months, any advice would be appreciated....

That is great :o) 5-8 pounds per month is the average on what a lapbander is suppose to lose anyways its a nice safe healthy weight loss per month :o)

Dont get frustrated Carol. There will be times you might go two weeks or even as long as a couple of months not losing weight.   All you can do is do what you suppose to be doing and eventually the weight will come off.

I have been stuck for a good month and half now but I brought some of that on myself also I  got lazy in exercise, and eating to many foods I shouldn't be eating every day .

Just keep up the great work.  Just remember we didn't put this weight on overnight and its not going to come off overnight . Slower the better actually .  The slower you lose the better chance you have to keep it off .

Just remember the story of the tortoise and the hare, slow and steady wins the race!

thanks for the encouragement!!!!
