I am getting banded June 24th and just wondering what the average weight loss is the first few months after the surgery. Trying to look descent in a swimsuit before summer is over.

Hey There

I only know about week one...lol. But I will say that from three days before surgery to day 8 i have lost 13 lbs. It may not sound like much..but what's more important is how great I feel. I can FEEL the 13lbs gone and what's absolutely the best feeling in the world is for the first time in YEARS I feel very hopeful.

I really had lost hope about losing weight--truthfully I had just given up. And now I am losing and feel certain I'll make it to my goal including all the ups and downs and plateaus and stucks..I'll get there.

So even though you may not be exactly the size you want to be by the end of the summer---if you follow the instructions..you'll likely to feel great about your progress.

Good luck!

      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.
