I had surgery November 2014. I'm down 18 lbs, and counting. For the first few months after surgery I didn't lose (I gained back some of my pre-surgery loss too). I was very relieved to read on these boards that this is normal. It took me time to get my band adjusted, and once it was I started losing 0.5 lbs/week and I am thrilled (some weeks I lose 1.5 lbs, some weeks I gain 0.5 lbs, some weeks I stay the same but it averages to 0.5 down each week over time). I would love to lose faster but I eat so many foods I love (in small quantities) that I'd rather eat what I want and lose slow than try and be stricter and lose faster.

My whole life I struggled to lose any weight, and even when I tried I often ended up gaining, so this consistent loss over time is wonderful.

I hope this post helps people who are starting out or losing slow!

Surgery was June 2011, lost 100+ Lbs.....it doesn't get any better than this....

Finished with diets and concerns about loosing or gaining weight....

A whole new way of living has opened up....Socially, mentally, excellent health, and yes, financially...

Best decision I could have done for myself.

Surgery Date 1/15/13

Starting Weight 198.8

current weight 125

Love my Band - No more diabetes, high cholesterol or high blood pressure.

No complications no problems. I am not on a diet for the first time in 25 years. Love having the ability to walk , swim, ride my horse and travel. Buying clothes is fun again. Best decision I have ever made .

Lap Band March 2014. Lost 104 so far. I want to lose about fifty more. My constant hunger is gone and I can walk away from delicious food after a moderate amount. Nothing short of amazing.

      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.
