Today I am 3 weeks post-op. I'm down 21lbs. 12 since surgery. I only lost 1 lb last week. Am I expecting too much too soon? I was hoping to have lost more by now. I'm sticking to the protein and small meals, but I don't feel that the weight is coming off fast enough. My clothes are a lot looser and people are noticing the change, but I feel like maybe I'm doing something wrong. Has anyone else experienced this?

My husband tells me the same thing! Looks like we're all in the same range as far as weight loss. I'm thankful for this site. It's easier to accept hearing the truth from others in the same boat.

Hello fellow October Bandsters, I was banded yesterday. I feel great with the exception of a few gas pains, but I notice a great deal of relief since yesterday. Everything went well, and I was discharged 2 hours after surgery. I am so happy to have started my journey, and I can't wait to see how things turn out. Good Luck to all of you

Hi all, My surgery is tomorrow also. I'm scheduled for 9:30 am. I feel so anxious! I'm just ready to get it over. What is everyone having for their clear liquids today? I'm afraid to have anything besides Crystal Light because I don't need anything to hinder my surgery tomorrow.

I got the call today. Surgery is scheduled for 9:30 on October 12th! I'm going to be an October Bandster!!!! Anyone else with this surgery day?:drool:

Thanks. My doctor's office called today with the great news. I have pre-op Tuesday, and it's a go from there!

So, I got my approval from my insurance yesterday (yay me)!!! I'm scheduled to sign my consents with the surgeon next Wednesday. The surgeon's office said once I sign the consents I will be scheduled with a week or two, so I will definitely be an October Bandster! I'm so nervious because I haven't been dieting, and I'm not sure if I've gained any weight since my last appointment. Needless to say for the next week I will be watching what I eat carefully so that I won't have an problems from a fatty liver. Any suggestions?:smile2:
