woodie221 0 Posted May 14, 2010 6 weeks out...11 pounds down. Try not to compare yourself to anyone else....easier said than done, I know, but it will drive you crazy. This is very true! I am not quite 4 weeks out... I'm just over 3 weeks and I'm down 16 lbs. There are a lot of variables (how much you have to lose, how much you exercise, how you stick to diet). I lost 10 lbs first week after surgery, 4 the next week, and only 2 this past week. Current weight 224 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gigi0504 0 Posted May 14, 2010 I was banded on May 4th. I've lost about 25lbs. Most of that came from the pre op 5 day liquid diet though and due to my metabolism I drop weight when exercising like crazy so, I had to warn my Dr that i would drop quickly then stall. Dont compare yourself. Just keep going! I am excited by the changes that are happening to me and its making me want to keep going! I know when I hit that stall, I will need to look back on this time and just keep going again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TylerDurden 0 Posted May 14, 2010 I'm 8 weeks out and 67lbs down. Wow, that's incredible. One of the nurses told me she knew of someone who lost 75 lbs in 3 months. I thought that was nearly impossible. Any tips to share that played a part in your terrific results? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IAmJacksLapBand 5 Posted May 14, 2010 I am three weeks out and my weight history is in my signature. The first week was about 9 lbs with the week 1 liquid diet and only a few walks. The second week out was 2 pounds with good diet and moderate exercise. I am stepping it up now while trying to keep my food intake down. I opted in the the Fourth of July Challenge to keep it at 2 lbs per week or more... shooting for 15 more by July 4th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaymie 0 Posted May 14, 2010 I'm just over 3 weeks post-op and have lost 9 pounds plus 6 from the pre-op diet. That's 15 total- wish it was more- but that's a heck of lot better than going up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chloe1982 0 Posted May 14, 2010 I was banded May 5th and I've lost 16lbs from the day of surgery. I graduated to soft foods as of yesterday but I'm still kind of nervous about eating. I've had some soggy cheerios. Lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kcsgirl 0 Posted May 14, 2010 I think it really depends on how much you need to lose. Bigger people ( 150 lbs or more) seem to loose more in 4 weeks than those who need to lose only 100, for example. I lost only 10 lbs my first month, 3 the next (Bandster Hell) and then 8. I have had 2 fills for 7 Cc and feel good but might get a little more fill next month if my hunger pangs get closer than 3-4 hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinnyorbust 0 Posted May 15, 2010 My surgery was April 14th (one month today!) I have lost 17 lbs. But I also lost 30 lbs pre-op. I have not lost any for the last week. I went for my first fill Wdnesday. I got 1cc put in on top of the 2cc that they had in thre from surgery day, so I have 3cc now. I am scheduled to go in again in 2 weeks, if I am still feeling hungry. I am hoping to lose 25 lbs by July4rth, that is 3 lbs a week.:w00t: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
