Hey guys I was banded on June 11. I lost 10lbs pre op, but haven't loss a pound every since. I've been following my diet. My first fill is in 3 wks. When do you start shedding the lbs?

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.

this makes my day....I was getting depressed....I had my surgery three weeks ago Wednesday and I haven't lost any weight. I lost 20 pounds the first week of the 2 week prediet, but nothing since....glad to see that I shouldn't get discouraged....yet!

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.
