Everyone is different so it's hard to tell. Some people lose a lot, some lose a little. Some have complications, some don't. I will be at my two-months mark next week and have lost 33 pounds since my surgery but have been fortunate enough to have had no complications.

I agree with KimmyTX...everyone is different and our bodies respond differently. I was banded 03.15.10 and at my 8 week mark I had lost over 50lbs; my husband was banded 05.19.20 and he lost slower than me. The key is eat as you are told and exercise! Good luck!

It's been a while since my 2 mo. but I think I lost like 40lbs...but I agree with the others, everyone is different...you can lose more if you exercise...sounds like you have the motivation, I'm sure you'll do well!

Good luck!:unsure:

I'm thinking that an average of 10 lbs per month is a safe, somewhat conservative guess, but you can see that many people responding seem to lose more. If I could lose something like 40 lbs after 2 months, you can bet you'll see me doing the happy butt dance!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
