12th day weigh in

[Carrie81 5]

Hi all

I am so happy so want to share this...I was going to wait until 2 weeks but decided to have a look today. I am 7 days post op so was on the pre op diet 5 days before surgery. So on my 12th day dieting I have lost 15lbs!!! I am so happy!! What are the chances I will put this back on when I move onto solids?

Thanks

chances are pretty good that you will put some of it back on. best advice I can give you, is don't get on the scale for a while. focus on healing, learning how to navigate with the band, and generally stay away from anything that might sabotage your commitment. Good luck and welcome to the forum.

I will, thank you! Today was the first day, since I started, that I craved food. My husband asked if it was okay to eat a kebab in front of me...I thought it would be okay but man, it smelt so good! I just kept reminding myself being slim will make me a hell of a lot happier than short lived satisfaction of eating something like that.

I am so excited to be on this journey!

Thank you for the welcome!

Yes, you will have a gain after a little while. But don't fret. Stick to the program, and it will come back off. I would also advise to not weigh yourself. Wait until you go to the doctor's office. Congratulations!

I will do that, thank you!

I gained it all back....the pre-op and post op diet is just that...it's not real IMO, who wouldn't loose weight on shakes and liquids.< /p>

After I started back on real foods, it was back to where I was as though I never had the lap Band surgery...it was only after a few months and a few fills that the band started to do what it was supposed to do, then the REAL weight loss began...

Okay, thank you!

Seems a shame to put it back on but hey.

it is a shame...but until the band starts doing it's job, it's just another diet...and I failed at every diet, that's why I needed surgery...if I could have done it myself, I would never resort to surgery.

This is true I guess it has been such a long time since I lost anything I am overcome with excitement

As you should be Carrie! A pound is a pound! Be proud! Follow the diet and get your fills and it should stay off, that's what I'm planning to do. Congrats!
