Hi everyone! I'm 18 and today is my 2 week mark since having the gastric lap-band surgery. I just kind of wanted to know how much success everyone had at 2 weeks? Last friday I weighed myself and have already lost 18 lbs I will be weighing myself again today. Is it normal to feel nervous? Now that I have had the surgery I feel really afraid to not lose weight, I guess I am just anxious, but I know weight loss takes time. Any advice on how to not feel so anxious? I would really appreciate it. :)

Love, Stef.

Congratulations on your new life! I will say, I am 38 and afraid I won't loose all the weight. I think it is probably a very normal feeling. Just remember, it took years to put on and with this process it may take years to get off! But, this is such a safe and lasting way to loose the weight. Congrats on your decision!

Hi Stef,

I am 3 weeks post op and I totally understand where you are coming from! You are doing excellent on your weight loss so keep it up! Try not to think about the pounds you are losing in the first weeks after surgery, this should be a time for you to heal (or so I hear)....You can do this!

Love and Sunshine,

D.

      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.
