How much weight did you loose before your first fill?

[pamla68 1]

I was banded June 25th, 2007 and surgery weight was 245. As of today I'm 221. I do the best I can to get the Protein and Water down. I'm scheduled for my first fill on August 8th, however, I will post pone it. I don't need it. I can't even get the 4th of an ounce down. I wonder if the early restriction is also from the healing of the hiatal hernia repair.

Don't despair. Everyone is different. Just keep in mind sedentary is no longer in your vocabulary. Find things that you enjoy to do. I was told no kick boxing until the end of the six weeks. But I've got tennis rackets in my closet I plan to use! I'm doing everything I can to take advantage of the summer, sunlight and heat to help me. My winter weight loss is always slow.

I was banded on June 18th 07 and will go for my first fill tomorrow...I've lost about 22 lbs. and I'm not feeling as full as quickly as I was right after the surgery..due to swelling around the band after surgery which has subsided by now, that's why I'm due for my fill now in order to tighten (or fill) the band. So don't get discouraged, keep up the good work.

:ranger:Hello! I just had Lapband surgery 7/24/07 and have lost 18 lbs. I started the high-protein supplements on 7/13/07 so it's been just over two weeks since I started this process. It is so exciting to be losing weight. I will have my first fill in 5 weeks. I feel restriction and am satisfied on the liquid supplements. Will be meeting with my doctor and dietician this coming Friday. Will start real food then, but I don't think I will be eating much since I feel restriction. Which is a very good thing. Wish everyone well.

I was banded on 1 November and have lost 28 lbs... most of it prior to my first fill. I haven't lost any lately but hoping that will change during the next couple of weeks.
