My daily intake of food is about as folloes... Breakfast 4 oz of protein shake, and a scrambled egg. Lunch a bowl of salad with sliced turkey and 2 tables spoons of diet ranch dressing. snack a cup of watermellon or applesauce or shioulettes 96% fat free ice cream sandwich. and dinner a small lean cusine carb controlled dinner (frozen) and around two Dole fat and sugar free popcicles some times during the day.I drink brtween 62 and 74 oz of water every day. I exercise some untill yesterday when I hurt my knee. Please HELP. what am I doing wrong?

honey calm down! your doing EVERYTHING RIGHT!

right about now is about the time you and your dr should be discussing your first fill. anything you lose before you get filled is considered a BONUS!!! i only lost 11 pre-fill!

remember the band is designed to work when it has been adjusted to fit you!

your first fill may not do the trick and if it doesnt make it your top priority to get another!!!

YOUR DOING GREAT!!!

Um, Janie, have you checked your own message here? I don't see anything at all about "not losing" in this phrase!! You've lost almost 4 lbs a week in the last 6 weeks!!!!! This is amazing progress, and no, of course it can't be sustained at that rate.

Shelly is absolutely right, you are doing everything perfectly and should NOT worry about the scale on a daily basis. You may indeed gain some weight back before your first fill, and that is nothing to worry about.

YOU'RE DOING GREAT!!! :D :D :D

I fell very satisfied with what I eat and it is so so so so much less than I used to eat. In fact it seems like I am not eating much at all and I do get a full feeling. but do you think what i am eating sounds o.k. Also since I have lost some weight in my face I am getting more wrinkles.I am 53 years old, I started out weighing 248 lbs I am 5 feet 5 inches tall. Maybe I need more wrinkles because of my age? Thanks to both of you for responding to me ...Janie
