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!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
