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?

Well I have came to a screeching holt at 25 pounds and I am still on phase 2 . I don't understand I feel like I should be losing since I hardly eat anything !!! HELP !!!

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.
