Hi all...

I was wondering if someone has experienced this or similar...

I was banded on the 13th of April. I have stuck to the liquid diet for 2 weeks after... However during this second week I haven't lost a thing. I have a busy job m, so constantly on my feet, my calorie input is less than my output. I eat (or drink rather) either Protein shakes of LF Soups. If I were on a 'normal' diet I'm sure I would have loads at least a pound. I'm just a little concerned... Any thoughts would be great... Many thanks x

@@BlondieUK your not losing weight this week is OK. Your still in recovery, give your body a chance to heal and recover from surgery and making changes to diet and now getting back to work.

Be kind to your self, and keep your Protein intake up and you will see your body will catch up.

Unfortunately your body goes into a different weight loss mode with the band, don't compare to before, you will go off your mind! The weight comes off, you just need to be patient. I remember thinking the very same thing once you start eating you will lose steadily

I didn't lose any weight for the first few months after surgery (actually I gained some). But that's normal! The band on its own doesn't do anything for most people, you need to start getting fills over the next few months to experience appetite suppression. Good luck and do your best not to get discouraged- it's a journey!

I just got my 3rd fill yesterday. Surgery was 2/25. I am only down 18lbs since banded. I fill completely different after this fill. I am hoping to be in the green zone now. Fingers crossed. I have not been feeling much restriction up till this point.

      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.
