Well I am kinda in that mood...I was filled again on 9/19 lost @ 8 the first 2 weeks, now nothing actually gaining a few OZ here and there. Although I can't eat much and the reflux has started...So for me I think I am over filled.
How many calories are you getting in? I have read that you should be getting in like 1100 - 1200 a day. See and right now for me that just isn't happening.
Good Luck...hope it starts working for you.

Yep - It took me a good 5 months and several fills before I felt any restriction at all and started to lose weight. It's been a year, 8 fills, up to 3.0 cc's, and I'm still not quite there yet. My doctor is very conservative about giving fills. I swear I should just book a trip back to MX and have Dr. Kuri top me off!
Check out the "Slow Losers" thread on the 'support' section. You are NOT alone! Hang in there - it will happen!

Hey Apple, I was stuck for 4 weeks and wouldn't loose a thing. I went back to counting my calories and drank 1 shake a day to help cut out some of the calories. It really helped. I am not exercising as I should but I am hoping to start walking in place while watching tv. Good Luck.

one other think to keep in mind is that while the scale may not be moving, are you losing inches? Are you gaining muscle pounds in exchange for fat pounds? Are you tracking your NSVs?
Baby, I know it is very hard be where you are, becuse that is where I've been since May. Please check out our slow loosers thread. I think it helps to know that you are not alone in this. http://lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=10174&page=5 | |

Update:
3 weeks after my 3rd fill I've lost 1# of the 2# I've gained. I had 4th fill schduled for mon. 24th but cancelled.
Felt like I needed some more time adjusting to fill #3.
In the mornings I would drink liquid. If I ate hamburger meat - could only eat few bites & didn't even get to veggies. Doc says eat protein first, when I do, I don't get to eat veg. so I have to take herbal lax. Now trying to eat few bites protein with few bites veg. at meal instead of more protein. What are your comments on this.
Thanks for all input and suggestions. I will check out "Slow Losers" site.
Ann

I have had 3 fill thus far. 8cc total
I have lost 10 lbs total since May 24, 2005. I can eat anything I hope the next fill helps I have 3 cc left to fill.
I'm concerned for myself to say the least.

I think since you were not having success with just protein first, then what is it going to hurt if you mix the two?
Also, you might have trouble with the hamburger meat and would do better with a different protein? My DH cannot eat hamburger unless it is the consistancy of taco mean. I have no trouble with ground meats. Hmmm, I wonder if ground chicken will be easier than not ground.... I have a difficult time with chicken, haven't tried other poultry.

Until I got some restriction I put some of the weight back on I had lost on the pre op diet too. The scales stayed the same alot too. Once I reached about 7.5mls in my Vg 10ml band I started losing.

Ann | Hi,
I have one question:
Are your fills done with a fluoroscope, or are they being done "blind"?

Is there a thread regarding not wanting to know how much I weigh...just going with the flow? I'm getting my first fill; I don't want to know how much I've lost.

Does you doctor use flouro? I have had good restriction b/c my doctor uses it and can see how much restriction I have. I wish you all the best and don't give up! You will get restriction at some point and then the pounds will come off.
