  1. 1. How many lbs did you loose the 1st week of being banded



Recommended Posts

Most people think that the pill makes you gain weight, in fact due to hormonal changes it can either cause you to eat more of LESS. With the band you will eat less, you will lose bc pill or not.

Well guys...I gained the week after surgery. :ermm I did do a pre-op diet though and lost 45 pounds in 14 days. At the time of my first fill 8 weeks later, I had gained back 10. :phanvan I have lost that 10 and a little more. It's coming off slowly, but this time of year I usually gain weight quickly, so I can't complain.:biggrin1:

I lost 9.5 lbs the first week....nice to see the drop on the scale but I know that this rate of loss is not maintainable. However, my clothes are fitting much better and looser which means more!

I lost 9 lbs the first week, and this week (my 2nd) I'm up 1 lb today, though official weigh in day is Saturday. It's a bit frustrating, but this board has helped me deal with it realizing this happens to a lot of people. I do feel better already, though!

      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.
