Well done on your weight loss!!

I was wondering if ya dont mind me asking how long did it take for the weight to start coming off?

Was it immediate?

Im 9weeks post op and lost 1st (14lbs) in the first week and have been yo-yoing between the same 3lbs since.

Not at great restriction yet, ive had 2fills.

But feel like i should be seen at least a fw pounds shifting, im watching what i eat!

It took awhile I can remember when I was newly banded and thinking how I shouldn't have wasted my money on this thing because it wasn't working. It took me at least 6 months to figure it out. Once I was in the green zone that the doctors offices talk about is really when it will come off. If you have only had two fills give it some time until your there. What size band do you have? Keep watching what you eat and drink Water and exercise and you will do great. :)

Donna if you do the math and continue to lose 14lbs every 9 weeks that is 80lbs a year and you have the band to help you keep it off and continue losing. Can you say that about any diet you have ever been on.

      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.
