Sounds like you're doing pretty well. Often people don't lose weight before their first fill so you're ahead of the curve

I think many of us loose then we freeze. If you look under the topic "frustrated", we all seem to be on the same boat. I think the body wants what it wants and will not give it up until it has no chance holding on, then you loose the weight. Steady as it goes, until you break that barrier.

You are doing very well. Keep following your dr's rules and you will be just fine.

The AVERAGE weight loss with the band is 1-2 pounds per week. You are at the high end with 2 pounds per week. While some people on here loose faster there are those of us who are more of 0-1 pound per week (and I stay in the 1000-1200 cal per day and do at least an hour of cardio 7 days a week.)

Very normal before the first fill. I got banded 3 weeks ago today, and I was crying the other night because the scale dropped 15 pounds the first week and nothing the past 2 weeks. I went for a check-up and the doctor said "welcome to lapband hell- the period between surgery and your first fill"- he doesn't expect much weight loss right now. I'm quite hungry. So I have to just watch what I am eating!

      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?

      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.
