  1. 1. Did you diet pre-surgery?

    • I stayed on a diet plan until surgery.

    • I ate the same as usual until my pre-op diet.
      13
    • I had no pre-op diet, but dieted anyway.
      9
    • I had no pre-op diet and didn't diet before surgery.
      17
    • I ate like crazy until my pre-op diet (or until surgery if no pre-op diet was required).

I was banded on 4/30/07 and on my one week check up had lost 10 lbs. My question is for those who have had the band for a while. Was your weight loss consistant from day one or did it really kick in after the first or second fill. Also what is the recommendation for calorie, fat and protien intake.

For the most part mine has been consistant. As for calorie, fat, and Protein intake your doc should have given you this information.

My doc says to stick to 800 a day, I stick with 600 a day. Fat... I just keep it low. Protein around 60gms. But your doc will have his own numbers for you.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
