Today is a very hard day. I had my LAP-BAND® put in on april 8 and I have been doing real well but im starting to get hungry and I dont seem to be losing as good as I thought I would. I lost 13 pounds the first week before sug. and seven pounds the week after. Now I have to wait till this friday to see how much I have lost in three weeks. I pray it is good. I dont want to weigh myself because I dont want to get discuraged . I have been on a no carb diet and have been staying in ketosis so I would say that is a good sign.:thumbup:

I think you are doing great, but NO carbs is not really too good, you need to have some carbs. Not over 30 grams though, and that could be from milk in your protein shakes. When losing that much weight that fast you could have you hair start to fall out~get that protein in first, 80 grams AT LEAST per day. The weight loss is a good thing, but overall living with it for a long time you will learn not the only good thing, don't lose so fast your skin sags and your hair falls out. Not to scare you, but you have the rest of your life to get the weight gone and you did not put it on overnight either. Just take a deep breath and relax, welcome to the bandsters.

Thanks for your advise. I need all the help I can get. I do have the low carb slim fast for breakfast and save the rest of the 30 grams for hidden carbs and I use the keto stiks to make sure I am staying on target. I guess I am just getting in a hurry. lol like you said it didnt come on over night so its not coming off over night.
