I've been banded for 15 months and since my date of surgery (some was lost prior to surgery), my weight loss has averaged out at less than 1 pound per week. I had a several month stall due to an overfill and then problems related to swelling due to the constant pbing and stuck episodes. For the last couple of months, my weight loss is a consistent 1 lb per week.

.

Your story sounds like mine...but I still average a little under 1 lb per week...

I've been averaging about 2 lbs a week also. I've just got my 1st fill this past Monday(1-7-11) and I explained to my doctor how depressing its been because I thought I should have lost more by now but he confirmed that I'm on the right track and that it was normal to lose about 2 lbs a week.

When I avg the whole time I've been banded it is 1lb a week. When I am doing things right I avg 2 to 3lbs a week. I have lost 15 pounds in the last 8 weeks. From June to Sept I lost only 3 lbs:(. So, the key is to stay on track and you will do fine! I think most people go through slumps like me though which will knock your weekly average down.

I am 26 weeks post op and averaged am doing 1.3 pounds a week. Since my last fill 3 weeks go where I either hit or approached restriction I've lost 8.5 pounds which is 2.8 pounds per week. I tend to be one of the those plateau for 2 weeks and then lose 2 pounds.

The average loss with the band is 1-2lbs a week. I've lost anywhere from 0-6lbs. Nowadays it's about 1.5lbs a week. I was losing 3lbs but since I only have 16 left to go I'm sure it'll continue to slow.

According to fitday :

Average weekly change 1.78lb lost per week

If i consider that i do not exercise, i am very pleased with my weight loss.My doc says i am moving pretty fast for a lapbander.IMO a loss is a loss, and being overweight oblige me to be patient.We did not gain so much weight over 7 months.It is not a race ,it is a change of life.

I will be post op 3 months this Monday. I have had only one fill and I am down 30 lbs. But, I have been at 30 down for the past 8 weeks, and then I stalled. I haven't moved on the scale, I had to r/s my 2nd fill due to insurance issues, and I will now get that fill 2-28-11. I may not be loosing BUT..... Tonight, I put on and buttoned my NEW size 18 jeans from Ann Taylor Loft..... The last time I wore that was over 22 years ago. So, even though I have not lost on the scale, I am deffintly hitting inches. I am hoping though with the second fill that I start seeing movement again.

I began my 3 week pre-op December 1st and was banded the 20th. Since beginning this journey I am down 55 pounds - averaging about 5 pounds per week. Its definitely not easy. I see a trainer twice a week and work out at least 3 times a week on my own. I calorie count and try to stick to 1000 - 1200 calories per day. For me at this point its all will power, I feel little restriction and do get hungry a couple hours after I eat. A personal choice for me was cutting out caffeine, alcohol and red meat. I think that has helped.

We are all doing well!

I was banded on 5/19/10. To date, I've lost 144 pounds - I guess that's an average of 4 lbs per week. I was at 210 for about six weeks and I finally had an unfill on Tuesday. I forgot what it felt like to eat food and have it go down without hurting. Today I'm 204.8 and I'm taking it easy - still have an ultimate goal of 165 (40 more to go). My next mini goal is to get to 199.9!!!

Wish me luck as I do all of you...

Rebecca

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
