Hi, I am 3 weeks out now I lost 10 pounds in pre ops diet then 10 pounds first week for almost 2 weeks I am the same weight.. A day I gain 1 or 2 pounds second day the 1 or 2 pounds is gone and so on... I called the clinic they said u r in the healing stage now so dont look at ur weight even if u gained one or 2 pounds u r still okay till ur first fill....

Hi all I was banded June 1st I am now on soft food.. but I am so hungry and I lost nothing since a week... anyone having the same issue?!!!

Hi I hope results will come back to normal soon…I am hypo as well.. I think the issue is not the lap band surgery itself the issue is that with unbalanced thyroid level you will not be able to lose that much weight if any so for me it is waste of money and time if you do it with a high level of thyroid you will struggle to lose a pound…Actually I never been over weight in my whole life.. I was always 132 pounds till my thyroid and pregnancy take place and I am now 240 pounds… So Thyroid really affects your metabolism if it is unbalanced. You can go ahead with the surgery and your doc maybe will not stop the surgery but I were you I would wait till my thyroid level is balanced as most of the weight lose will be in your first year so don’t waste this year because your thyroid is not balanced.. For the medication it has to be daily first thing in the morning same time daily and no vitamins with them especially Iron and calcium and never eat anything that has calcium 2 hrs after the medication (milk, cheese ,…) and not to eat for an hr in general.. some people taking the medication at night before bed if they can’t wait for multivitamins, breakfast and coffee for that long ask your doc about this option… not a good idea to forget your bills because this is you have stressing your body one day you give your body the hormone another day not… At the end don’t worry I am sure everything will be all right.. every time I got pregnant my level goes dramatically up and it goes back to normal when I change my dose…

I was banded in July 1st and I have the same issue so I would like to see suggestions as well.. thank you all for help and support...

What is PB?!!!

not yet... I submitted my appilcationf for the GYM to start on July 1st as they said no heavy exersice for 4 weeks but I will start walking daily it might help..

I have lost 11 ponds in the pre ops diet I guess those are the water weight..

I am now in full liquids...

I was banded 1st of June lost 7.7 pounds only and I am plateau now for almost 3 days and so fraustated... I even took it hard on myself yesterday and didnt eat dinner and the same nothing changed

depending on your body some people enters his stage faster than others but eventually you will be in this stage soon just dont cheat...

I had my surgery on July 1st and yes this was me for day 3 I forget to drink my protein I was acttually pushing myself... I had two parties in this period one was in my house and I managed not to eat... that is normal as your body is now creating something called ketoses which make you feel full... just keep in mind that if you cheated once ketoses will go away from your body and you will feel hungry again.. so the key DONT CHEAT even once...

My vitamins are crewable however I take thyriod medication which is very small and I take them from day1

Donna not sure if you will be able to do that or not for me 1st day was Water only day 2 till day 7 pure liquid only including proitien shakes and yougrt shake not usual yougrt.. but to be honest till day 3 I was not able even to drink my water so I was pushing myself so not to be dehydated not sure how you will be on mushy second day.. for me I think I would try mushy on day 5 I guess I didnt do it as my doc said NO to it however I feel I could do it...

I was banbed 8 days ago and today I am SO SO SO hungry I came across this page and thanks to all of u looks like that is normal in this stage... I will do the effort to stick to my diet until I am in the green zone..

Thanks for the information I went over the PDF u gave me and it is very helpful almost what the doc gave me wz more varaity and more information...but still they didnt say what should be the portions.. so today at night I was so hungry that I ate Yogert ( which is ok for this this stage) but non stop I mean I ate A LOT and really A LOT.. so basically what u were saying dont consider portions in this stage?!!! aha I also dring my shakes and drink a lot of water...
