6 weeks out and weight loss?

[realcel 16]

kdkrocks, I have not had surgery yet, but I am completely at peace about it. My suggestion to you would be to write down your concerns and address them with your doctor. Mine has been great about answering questions and putting me at ease! Take a deep breath...we can do this!

I am 5 weeks and down 12kg which is nearly 27 pounds but haven't lost much in the last 2 weeks

[Honestly 18]

Stared @ 270 lost 12 lbs before meeting surgeon..258 lost 10 pre op ...248 and currently 232.

It took me 1 year to lose the first 12 lbs on my own and now just 2 lbs away from _40

Help! I'm scared to have the lap band procedure. My surgery is Feb.26' date='2013. I was overwhelmed at pre-op seminar today. Anyone else scared??[/quote']

Hey Kid - I understand how you feel - I felt the same way ... Even thought ... Are you guys (Doc n staff) trying to talk me out if this ?? But they were just getting my "mind right" so I understood the procedure was no magic pill and required work.

I had the surgery and it was THE BEST DECISION EVER... Look at my pics - walk away with HOPE ... If it worked for me (Lost 280 lbs) it will work for you : )

Hope in your Future is Power in your Present!

I'm 9 weeks out 20 lbs total since surgery but stopped losing. Finally had a fill yesterday I don't feel different I and still measuring my meals and doing tons of Water. I was doing more coffee than normal lately and my stress from work has really been over whelming me. But I am excited to see what's ahead!!!

Jewel, you sound exactly like me when I was there. I was very lucky too. I have only had one fill since banded over a year ago. I rarely eat three times a day, but do snack a little. Never really hungry. Down 149 pounds. Stick with what is working!

Thanks Sue! I plan on reserving the fills for when I REALLY need them and I'm sure one day I will be glad they are there!

I lost 17 during the 2 week pre-op diet. I am now 4 weeks post-op and I've lost an additional 17 pounds. (I have a lot to lose, though!) Keep up the great work! Everyone loses at a different pace.

I am two weeks post op and have lost 6 pounds I lost 18 on my one week pre op!

[newmeva 34]

I am 5 weeks post op 27 lbs since surgery...10 lbs prior..total -37 lbs....week 3 and four scales barely moved..my doc wont let you exercise until 6 weeks post op...I have 61 lbs to goal!

[ireallywannabthin 286]

I'm 2 weeks and 2 days post-op and I'm down 20lbs.

I will be 6 wks on the 27th. My total loss has been 25 lbs. 18 pre op' date=' 7 post op. I feel like mine is slow also. I keep telling myself that my goal is to lose 65 lbs which isn't as much as some others goals. I also remind myself that my dr is still dealing with my meds to regulate my thyroid due to having mine removed several years ago. On my one month band date I rejoined my local gym:) I am doing 1 hour of Zumba 4 days per week. We have to remind ourselves that even if it is only 1 step forward, it is a step in the right direction:) hoping my weight loss will pick up next month![/quote']

I just found out today my thyroid isn't really working. Just what I need

I'm 11 weeks post op and down 28 lb

Im definately becoming discouraged... Im 12wks post op and about to have a 2nd fill tomorrow. I measure my meals, avoid snacking and even sometime have to remind myself to eat 3 xs per day. But I also have Pcos which made weightloss initially a battle. Just hoping I dont disappoint my surgeon tomorrow! #HateToFail#
