debstone Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I was banded on 5/6/10. I lost a total of 18 pounds, my first fill was June 4, 2010, I occasionally feel slight restriction, but have only lost an additional 5 pounds. I am scheduled for a fill on July 13. I am becoming discouraged with the weight loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieB Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 This is a hard time for many. Hang in there, restriction is built more often than not. Those who follow the rules do well. Stick to it! It will happen, just not overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricaG Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 i felt restriction probably the first day of my fill... then did the 3 day mushy diet, THEN my restriction was gone. But i believe you have to build on it. I have 8cc's now and that was until my 3rd fill that i actually felt restriction. But everyone is different. I've read people feel restriction with no fill at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breeze32 Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Sit back and think about what you have really lost..... you have lost 23 lbs in seven weeks That is more than 3 lbs a week!!! That is awesome! Imagine if you continued to lose weight at that rate. I think you are doing great and should be very happpy. I am happy with 1.5-2.0 lbs a week.
