How much weight did you lose before your first fill?

Let me clarify this. I am down a total of 38 pounds including the 2 week pre op diet. I am not down 38 pounds since the surgery.

Yeah I figured that or you were on that new crack diet.

It works but you'll lose everything!

Oh well the band it is!

Hazeleyegrl & Lifelover -- are you getting in 60gr of Protein or so?

Are you feeling okay?

If so - enjoy the ride while it lasts.

I dont think i get the full 60 every day but i drink at least one shake a day along with my Water and whatever mushies i have...but one shake has 42g of Protein

I use EAS (found at Walmart and some drug and grocery stores) they have 17g (11 oz) and 42g (17 oz) versions. I like the Royal Fudge.

I buy them at Sam's Club as well.

The IDS New whey Protein Bullets have 42gm's as well.

I was banded Aug. 16 and now at 4 wks I've lost 22lbs if I include pre-op diet its about 35lbs. I'm due for first fill Sept. 28 and I'm not hungry. Actually I feel stuffed all the time and eat very little. Do you think the doctor will do the fill?

If you have the full feeling I doubt they will fill you.

I am due for my first fill on the 24th of Sept. I was banded on the 28th of August.

I have lost 12 pounds since banding. (22 lbs since 1 week prior to bandking) I was hoping for more, but am thrilled at this weight loss since this is the time for healing.....

Great job to all of you.

Hi all -- I lost 6 lbs before surgery (not exactly compliant, I must admit!) and since surgery, I've lost about 12 lbs. Surgery was Aug 29. I don't go for a fill until Oct 17 and have been in bandster hell since 4 days post-op!! I'm hoping that moving to solids (in 5 days!!!) will help me control my hunger.

I'm a little confused (Not yet banded)......does the band itself, with or without fills, not restrict your food intake anyways?

Hi janie.

I'm three weeks out and no fill and yes it is still restricting me.

I'm not sure when without a fill will it stop but it hasn't yet.

Like everything in Lap-Band, it depends on your unique situation.

IF the band is a tight fit around your stomach WITHOUT a fill, YES, you will be restricted.... but if it's NOT a tight fitting band without a fill, the band is almost unnoticable for most people.

My phrase for it is:

"An unfilled Lap-Band is a VERY expensive PAPERWEIGHT!"

Hi, I was banded one month ago today...I've lost a total of 12 pounds, but, gained 7 back so far. So, I can certainly understand your gain. But, since your band, how have things went....and positive results?

I was bannded 8/18 and i am down 22lbs. It really hard since i am not doing liquids. i get hunggry but i try to control myslef.
