I only lost 6 pounds on the pre-op liquid diet. My nurse said, well, everyone's metabolism is different, so not to worry. As long as you have lost and not gained, you're ok. Don't worry too much about it!

Thank you maggs! I have been so stressed over it. I guess my body doesn't want to let go of any of it!!!

Yep, it's ticked at you for denying it all those yummy, gready calories! At least, that's what I was telling myself! LOL Keep in touch!!

Maggs is right I lost around 10 maybe 15 and a few days before my surgery I put on a few pounds. My doctor still did my surgery with no problems. I think you will be fine so don't stress about it.

I feel lots better now, knowing this is pretty normal. I just keep thinking with all this torture, surely I would lose a WHOLE lot more! haha. Soon enough I guess. I just can't wait to get banded. Been waiting forever. Thanks for the info :0)

I too lost only 6 lbs. Now I am in a stall mode. My surgery was 06/15 and I am getting a fill because I feel no restriction or fullness.

If it hadent been for the great people sharing info on this site I might not have known I need a fill and it is not normal to not feel full at some point!

Special thanks to Tina and Maggs they are great bloggers!!!

Just watch with the boths, lots of salt.

Thanks everyone! You guys are awesome. I really appreciate the input and encouragement.

i didnt even have to diet the weeks before surgery. just liquids the day before. drinks/shakes/broth still hv a lot of hidden calories...so if you're are really concerned, total up your calories for a few days and see what numbers you get...you might be 'dinking too many calories' to still lose weight.... just a thought...try not to stress! you'll be fine :-)
