Help-

Hi all, I had my lap band procedure on 4/23. The first week was wonderful! I felt full after 1/2 cup of food for the first time in my life and it was a terrific feeling. I lost 15 lbs that week, and although I had sense enough to realize the wt loss wouldn't stay at that rate, I have actually gained weight and am hungry all the time!  Went back for my post-op visit this week and have to wait at least 2 more weeks until I have my first adjustment. I was very disappointed because although I've eaten more than 1/2 cup, I'm still eating way less than before surgery and by the time I got to the doctor, my weight was down only 10 lbs. Am I expecting too much?  Did other lap banders have the same concerns this early after surgery? Thanks Brenda
