Omg 10Lbs In One Week



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I was banded last Friday 07/27/12. I'm in the liquid phase. I don't have a proper scale at home so went to the gym to weigh myself. I knew I lost weight since the surgery, but never imagined losing 10 lbs in my first week. I am just shocked, thought I'd share it with u guys :)

Sorry to burst your balloon but it's mostly Water you've lost. You may have lost 1-2 lbs of fat but it's mostly Fluid you've retained. Depending on how much weight you have to lose, you could lose up to 30 lbs of Fluid the first month. Don't get me wrong, any weight loss is good but the most "fat" any of us can lose is around 2 lbs a week.

Congrats!

Water or fat who cares! Ten lbs on the scale is ten lbs! You go girl!

I agree!. The fact that your weight is going down is the blessing. And even if it's 1 or 2 pds of fat, it's going down. That's what we are here for, weight loss. Your clothes still fit a little better. Keep up what you're doing.

Be positive always! Best wishes

Thanks for all the positive comments. I agree, Water or fat, I am so motivated right now. 1-2lbs per week is fine by me, but I think having such a big first week is very motivating. I can't wait to start gym :)

I agree, 10lbs is 10lbs! I was banded w/plication on 6/15 and have lost 34lbs so far, I am sure alot of it was Water weight but I am still going down and that is what matters the most! Stay encouraged, keep up the good work and congrats!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
