No preop diet - banded on Friday 3/5 - down 9 pounds of obvious Water weight. Boy my ankles look good! HA HA!

I lost 20 pounds in the month pre-surgery (I was on Medifast at my surgeon's direction); since my banding on February 26th, I've lost 19 more. My surgeon told me to expect, now that I'm moving forward with purees, that I may gain a little back. I've made it my personal mission to prove him wrong, though :thumbup:

If all goes well, I may be getting my first adjustment on March 31st.

Best, Christine

I lost 18 lbs before my first fill. I did not have a preop diet. It has been by will power that I have done this and a heck of alot of biking....

I lost 8lb in one week of pre-op Optifast diet.

I am now 5 days post-op and have lost another 5lb.

I did get a fill of 4ml during surgery, so maybe my journey is going to be different? No idea when I'll need a fill, see my surgeon for my first check-up in a couple of weeks.

Like all the other forums, I guess this one shows we are all different, but can all be successful if we are determined.

I am 5 weeks post-op and had my first fill yesterday. I have lost 17 lbs since the surgery, but only 6 lbs on the pre-diet (which sucked! 2 weeks on a liquid diet and only lost 6 lbs... what's up with that?)

After surgery, that first month before my first fill I lost 30 pounds.

I lost 7 pounds during my week long preop diet and then 10 pounds since being banded on 2/22. This was a really good question because I was curious, too! Looks like I shouldn't be too concerned if I don't lose anything else before my first fill, it's on the 24th. But it was nice to lose 2 pounds overnight those first few days after surgery!

I lost 14 pounds on my weeklong pre-op diet, and 10 more pounds since surgery. My first fill is tomorrow, and I'm glad. For the past week or so, I've felt NO restriction!

Preop I lost 18 pounds. After banded I lost another 16lbs for a total of 34lbs down. I go for my first fill the week of 3/22.

After surgery, that first month before my first fill I lost 30 pounds. :thumbup:

Wow! Thats awesome! What did you do?

I lost 13lbs in the week long pre-op diet, and I have lost a good deal in the few days following the surgery, (enough that people who hadn't seen me in a couple of days noticed a difference) but I don't have an exact number because my scale at home still says "Get Off Me!!" whenever i get on it... :thumbup: I won't know for sure until I get to the Doc next week for my follow up...

274 was my highest weight in 2009. I was at 258 when i started the liquid diet, I was 252 the day of my surgery so lost 6lbs on one week liquid diet. I am at 240 as of my 2 week post op weight which is 18 lbs post op. I have not lost one pound this week which is my 3rd week but I am not discouraged. 274-240 = 34lbs and counting..:wub:
