Week one down

[kayleena_journey2014 37]

I'm finally a week out being banded. I got to steer new things and get off my Clear liquids. I fill so full and love my yogurt.

I have lost 26lb in 7 days and feeling restrictive. I hope I can chew my food just as good as I can swallow my liquid.

I am afraid of loosing the weight to fast as I haven't even had a fill. I'm only one week out. Is this normal for someone being banded?

You haven't filled in your profile so it's difficult to advise you till we know how much your starting weight was? Very high BMI patients can lose much more, much quicker than lower BMI patients. Most of it is Water retention being released so don't expect anything even remotely close to this in the future. Usually most of us lost a lot the first 2 weeks and then the plateau till our bands were adjusted.

Hi

I also lost 14pounds in 8 days straight after surgery which was on the 20th June. But since then iv not list anymore.. So I think it's normal

Congratulations on your band and best wishes as you go through the next phases. I love yogurt to this day. As others have said, don't worry if the weight loss slows for a while as your body adjusts to the new mode and you will probably have to go through the process of assessing with your surgeon for fills, etc. In other words, it can take a little while -- don't worry and just keep going and you will get there!

Congrats on five ponds! That is five you won't see again.

And yes, stay off the scale. You are still in recovery and heal mode and your number is going to fluctuate. It's normal. I didn't step on a scale until I had my first aftercare appointment, a month after my surgery.

I was weighed at the doctor's office two weeks out, but I didn't pay attention to that number.
