Hello Amy! It was 2 weeks yesterday for me. Could I ask you how your progress has been so far? I also go to my dr today. Since my surgery I've only losted 8 lbs. I'm starting to feel more hungry and I'm thinking about asking my dr about getting a fill. I finally got over the soreness and I started to walk 2 hours a day yesterday (one hour before work and another after cooking dinner). I hope that will help and I could keep it up.

Hello! I'm new to the site. I've got my band on Dec. 29th. I'm still in minor pain and wonder if its normal. I've had 2 C-sections and my gall bladder removed just a couple months before getting banded. Since my surgery I've only losed 11 lbs, is that normal? Or should I've been able to lose more than that? I've just started to do my walking but I feel like I may be able over doing it since I feel like I should of lost more weight by now.

Wow! I guess that's why I feel like I should have losted more weight by now. But as I read other people's experiences I realize not everyone did the 2 week liquid diet before being banded. My doctor would have liked me to do it but at the same time I was finally approve from my insurance in November and I pretty much begged my doctor to get me in before the end of the year since I pretty much met my "out of pocket" expenses. I will continue working on it....thanks for everyones replies!

Thanks for the reply. Congrats to you too! I'm doing ok on the diet but I'm starting to feel hungry a little more. I go to the doctor Thursday so hopefully he gives me the ok to go to the next step. Hi there. I'm new to this site as well and just got banded on the 29th. I have "only" lost 6.5 pounds and I am pretty happy about it. I have heard that the first month is about healing and not to expect a lot of weight loss especially since we are barely eating anything. Also I'm still a little sore but get really sore if I over do it. Give yourself some time. How are you doing with the diet? Congrats on the 11 pounds, that is great!!!
