First 6 weeks aren't about weight loss. Stay away from the scale and let yourself heal. You're complaining when you're down 2 pants sizes why? What exactly are you expecting, over night results?

15 pounds in great in 6 weeks-especially with no fills! Next time you go food shopping pick up 15 ounds of meat-try holding it for a while-that's what you lost!! Or put 15 one pound boxes of butter in your cart-all that is now off your body!! You're doing great-keep it up!

Now that it's so nice out try walking a liittle each day-get an ipod to listen to while you walk. Good Luck to you!!!

Aloha,

What you eat has alot to do with the amount of weight you lose. Choose foods that are lower in calorie and healthier for you, added with excercise and you'll lose more. Remember the band is a tool, an aide, we still need to do our part.

      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.
