Hello there, Have you had a first fill yet? what size band do you have etc , on many occasions it takes several fills to achieve your sweet spot and start losing weight , everyone is different. Wishing you all the best. x x (p.s. look at your food and fluid intake) xx

Your welcome. x - some ppl have 10 mil/14 mil band etc and takes several fills to see the weight coming off, as I said everyone is different and that's why you shouldn't compare yourself to others ( if u r that is x ) - Try and stick too foods that keep you fuller for longer, and eat protein , veggies and then carbs ( if you have the room) - As you said give it more time - What else have we got xx Wishing you all the best x

Don't worry too much as stress doesn't help either. It could be a number of factors causing the slow weight loss so far, I'd keep a strict food and exercise diary as this can help you see what's happening and what needs to change. Again I'm sure this will pass so just make sure you eat high protein meals with few carbs and drink plenty of water.

Yeah I'm sure that's it. I don't know a lot about bands but I'm sure if you follow your guidelines it will happen for you x
