I consider myself lucky so far...I have lost 17 lbs in the 14 days since surgery!!! I dont think this is typical though! And I know it will probably slow dramatically when I can eat "real food" again.

DAILY?? I dont go by daily weight loss it can be discouraging when the scale fluctuates so I only weigh 1 time a week and count that... I lose an average of 1-2lbs per week,...

I had my band put in March 1, 2011. I have not had any fills yet and I have lost just under 10 lbs per week. After my followup appt with my doctor I have been exercising for 1 hour everyday no matter what. I have a long journey ahead of me but it has been well worth it so far.

Recently my average has been 1 lb per week. It is kind of disappointing to me especially since I've been doing 6 kickboxing classes a week :(

Mine ranges anywhere from .2lbs-6lbs a week. Nowadays I am losing much less each week, but that's to be expected as I only have 6lbs left to lose. You will often lose quicker in the beginning and weight loss will slow as you have less to lose.

Men tend to lose faster, just like any other weightloss program. Other things will make a difference as well like your starting weight, how much you exercise, what types of food you eat, how tight your band is, drinking alcohol.......... If you start out at 400 pounds, your weightloss will be faster than someone who has only 70 pounds to take off.

I lost 100 pounds in the first year.

I agree with you on that! I am 8 almost 9mos post op and i am averaging 1-2 lbs per week! after the first few mos of being banded weightloss really tends to slow down. And that is perfectly normal.

I am female and initially had about 90 pounds to lose. I am down 45 pounds since my surgery on February 11, 2011. My first fill was on 3/10 (3cc) and my second fill was on 4/15 (5cc). There have been weeks in between where I have lost nothing or one pound and there are other weeks where I have lost 4 or more pounds. Here is my journey so far:

Post Surgery:

2/11 - 2/18: I lost 16 pounds

2/19 - 3/10: I lost 11 pounds

3/10 - 4/15: I lost 14 pounds

4/15 - 4/20: I lost 4 pounds

I am sure the weight loss will probably slow down a bit and I am usually the rush-rush type, but as long as that scale keeps going in one direction, I am happy. Good luck to you!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
