Wth? Almost  9 mths out and only 30lbs and my doc says it's just I'm not where I need to be yet. 6 cc's and a 9 cc band. Anyone else having a really, really, slow time loosing or should I start thinking something is wrong?

i am a slow loser..but i am at 8.4cc  in my 9cc band...i have perfect restriction ,and yes i can eat, but very tiny bites , and not very much. just be patient.

i am glad i have lost slower,no plastics for me. i never thought plastics was going to be part of my journey. Not that there is anything wrong with it, it's just not for me.
hang in there.

Hm, My Dr put 6.5 cc in my 11 cc band for my 1st fill. Do you have restriction?  Are you eating well?  Are you exercising including weight training?

Are you drinking enough water?  That really helps if increase the intake. Hang in there!!!

 I loose extremely slow always so I will probably be in the same boat. I'm almost 5 weeks post op and I'm only down 11 lbs.  I look at it this way  - at least it's a loss and not a gain.

I am a slow loser too(and yes I follow ALL of the rules).  I have 9.6 ccs in  a 11cc band and it's slow going.  I'm not one of those lucky people that gets restriction after 2nd, 3rd or 4th fill.  Restriction is ever elusive.  I am hoping my 7th fill will put me at good restriction.

Ugh. I am 5 months post op and only lost the 20 from the pre op diet. It's so annoying. I've had 3 fills, and think I have around 5cc's and dont really feel much restriction but have lots of stuck episodes bc i eat too fast

I am going to keep the faith I go on 12/23 under floro for my fill at that time he is going to see if any slippage and how much is actually going in. All my fills been blind so I'm going to see how this is going to work out wish me luck.

Good luck to you!  Have you took your measurements?  If you are working out alot you can lose inches as muscle replaces your fat cells.  Keep your chin up, keep following the rules, it will happen!!! 

3cc on 12/10/09, 0.8cc on 1/25/10, 1.0 cc on 3/15/10, 1.0 cc on 4/28/10, 0.2 cc on 6/16/10, 0.7 cc on 8/26/10, 0.8 cc on 10/15/10, 1.0 cc on 3/17/11 and 0.3 cc on 6/9/11.  8.8 cc in my 11cc band

I am 3 months out and have lost 38 lbs. Slow and steady...that is what works for me. Your protein is very important as is exercise. I know none of us want to admit it but little is better than none. I just keep telling myself that I didn't put on all this weight over night and it isn't going to come off over night.
