I had my one week post op appointment today and I am happy to announce I've lost 11 lbs since surgery. The scale in my doctors office tell you how much fat Water and muscle you have lost or gained also. 4.5 lbs was fat loss 4.5lbs was water loss and 2 lbs was muscles loss. I'm so happy and proud of myself !

I did alot of walking and I have a little one I chased around too. My doctor cleared me to go back to the gym so I'm excited about that. Don't get discouraged just keep trying. Have you exercised at all? even walking is good excersise it doesn't always have to be hardcore.

95 to go here, I too have walked everyday and have a 1 year old. But I will say I'm counting down till I can have some soft mush! My husband got me a pandora Bracelet with my starter charm and then my 2nd one for 10lb weight loss!

I love this charm Bracelet idea!! I think I'm going to tell my husband... :) I also had surgery on 9/10/12 and have my first Pre-op this coming Wednesday. I am counting the days until mushy food. I have a very strict post-op liquid diet from NYU so I'm dreaming of Farina right now.

Hi Nicki - I was banded the 13th - but was told by my doctor not to focus in on weightloss on the first week but to focus on healing only . As long as you stick to the diet sheet you should definitely be losing by the second week. I know it's hard when it seems that everyone else is losing .

I had this conversation with my doctor because I realised my post op diet was actually higher in calories than my pre op ! - but it's early days for me x

Don't worry, you are not alone! I lost 17 pre-op, and have not lost a pound post-op yet, and I am 10 days post op! Trying not to focus on weight, and instead to focus on healing, but I have to be honest, it's nice to know I'm not alone! Although I hope we both see some weight come off soon! It certainly is good motivation. ^_^

      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.
