Same here. 10 lbs after surgery and still holding too. But I think 10 lbs. is great too. 23 lbs. since May 23rd is awesome!

Congrats! I lost a similar amount - was 30 lbs down 2 weeks and 2 days in - but then gained back 8 lbs until I got my first fill Monday and since then being on liquids I've lost that 8.

Those are some great results......

I have seen such varying results, I never knew what was the right or wrong amount of weight loss would be. I had my surgery on 4/24/13. A week before the surgery, I weighed in at 340, the day of surgery, after a week of liquids, I was down to 330. Last Saturday, my weight dropped below 300 (299.4) for the first time in a decade.

My weight loss slowed down once I started on real foods.....but it does continue. My first fill is next Tuesday (6/11/13). Anyone have any idea what can I expect in terms of weight loss after this first fill?

Don't panic - the band isn't even really doing it's job yet. You are still in the recovery stage. The liquids and mushy stages are part of the healing process your weight loss process starts when you get your first fill and are eating solid foods. Do you recall how long it took to put on 25 lbs? bet it was more than a couple of weeks.

First let your body heal, get used to having the band. When you start eating "real" foods again then you are well on the weight loss portion of your journey.

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
