michelleaudio 2 Posted August 1, 2012 I was banded July 12. I had my post OP appointment on 7/30 and have lost 22 pounds so far! I am 26 years old, 5'10" and my starting weight day of surgery was 358! I hope this is motivation for everyone. 1 Overjoyed1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarah72 21 Posted August 1, 2012 Congratulations on your weight loss! I have my post-op tomorrow. I was banded 7/25-a week ago! My highest weight was back in January or February where I weighed in at 383. I was mortified. Last week, on surgery day, I was down to 338 and up to 344 the next day due to Water retention, swelling and IV fluids. Today, when I stepped on the scale, I was 333!! 50 pounds GONE! Again, congratulations! I'm looking forward to seeing what the "official" number is tomorrow! 1 Overjoyed1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlleyKat 26 Posted August 1, 2012 I have my first post-op appointment today. I was banded June 22. I'm down a total 8lbs which is disappointing but i was warned not to expect weight loss after surgery and possibly even a weight gain until I start getting fills. I'm excited for my fill today. i'm ready to get this show on the road!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alicesandra 98 Posted August 1, 2012 I had my first post-op appointment the other day, I wasn't weighed the morning I went in for surgery (23rd) but I have lost 28 pounds since my last weigh in appointment, on the 16th! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juliebean1979 0 Posted August 4, 2012 I had my surgery on July 23, been following the post op diet and tracking everything that went into my mouth, but I have gained a pound since surgery. I am starting to get frustrated because I didn't get surgery to maintain my weight. I am walking and geting 100 grams of Protein a day and sore as hell, but still no weight loss. When will the weight loss start??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luv80s 8 Posted August 5, 2012 I just got banded 7/31! Lost 20 pounds during the 10 day liquid. Post op checkup is Wednesday so I'm waiting to check my weight at the appt. I don't want to get too hung up on the number but more about what I'm able to do that I haven't been able to in years. Can't wait! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Julie3856 98 Posted August 5, 2012 Juliebean-I can start to understand the frustration. I was banded on 7/23. I have lost 6 lbs since surgery. I haven't had my first fill yet so, I am trying not to get too worked up about it. Family & friends ask me all the time since surgery "how much weight have you lost?" that's when I begin to get annoyed. I don't feel they understand when I tell them this time is for healing & the weight loss will come later. Oh well, hang in there!! It'll come!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
