Another Fill?

I was banded on 8/17/06. As of yesterday I am down to 209.6 Started at 232 . I am worried that I am not losing like I should be. I am schuled for my second fill on 11/09. I work out (walk 2.70 to 4 miles) at least 3 to 5 times a week. Am I expecting too much?

Be patient, you know they tell us bandsters that it is a slow process and everyone is different, it is great that you are excercising, keep that up. You didn't mention anything about your eating now, are you eating 3 times a day? Are the portions the same size (small)? and what types of food are you eating? I had my band on 4-13-06, I have lost 78 lbs so far, have had 2 fills. I eat NO breads, NO sweets for sure. If you are eating like they want us too or even just 90-95% like they want then give it time.

On most days I eat 3 small meals. I still have a hard time getting in all of my water. I don't eat bread or sweets. I did have a small serving of ice cream last week. (I don't eat sweets because I have diabeties. I am down to 500mg once a day now. Thanks I guess I need to be patient. How soon did you get your second fill?

I got my second fill on 9-20-06, which was 5 months after surgery, I weighed 308 on that day, I went this past week on 10-24-06 for check up from fill, I weighed 298. I don't have to go back for another appointment till Mid December.
