I was banded on October 27th and am getting a little frustrated about my lack of weight loss. I lost 13 pounds on the pre-op diet, but when I went in for my first post-op visit a week ago, I was actually up a pound from the day of surgery. I only weigh myself once a week on Mondays, but today when I got on the scale I weighed the same that I did last Monday. How is that possible? I am getting in between 70 and 80 proteins a day, I exercise everyday and I am consuming less than 900 calories. How can I not be losing weight??:thumbup: If I was doing this before I had the band, I would definitely be dropping the pounds. I read other blogs where folks have dropped several pounds since being banded. I guess I am at a loss. Any words of wisdom from the bandster veterans out there? I could really use some.

It takes time my bandster friend, once your body heals the weight loss will kick in and all the efforts will be worth it.Hang in there your still healing.. watch what your eating and wait for the fills to come then the loss will be significant.. Classicmama. :thumbup:

Same here but it's been since June for me. My port has now flipped and I have to figure out if I want it fixed or out.

I have been the same weight and up and down a couple pounds since my first follow up on Oct. 27th. (surgery was Oct. 7). I can't seem to break into the 260s. I was 268 at the doctor's office, but my scale has be anywhere from 272-275. My first fill is in 2 weeks.

Try uping the calories.. your body may need more to lose weight. Chooky
