It's different for everyone. You're still probably swollen. Just keep sticking to your diet and you'll get there. I was slow losing weight after surgery but I've lost 46 pounds since I was banded on 4/18. You'll get there just keep at it!

Everyone is different, so do not compare to anyone else.It will drive you crazy.

The first 6wks is for healing, not losing weight. Keep following your Drs orders, measure your portions, track and make sure you're deinking your fluids.

Congratulations on joining the banded side!

After my third fill. I was banded in early December, and had my third fill in mid March. It was then I started to lose weight. Give yourself time to heal... it takes time to find the green zone, or to get close to it. Some folks do well without any fills, but most us need several to see results.

I lost 17 lbs post op and nothing since. I got my fill on Wednesday and have lost 2lbs. LOVE IT. It happens it just happens when your body is ready to loose.

      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.
