I been banded for almost 2 months I have lost 28 lbs after 6 weeks. And I will have my first fill 19 of Nov. I am wonder do you still lose weight like you do after the first 6 week until the first fill. After the first fill what is the normal weight lose. My Doctor said I lost 10 lbs of Water and 10 lbs of fat after the first month. I just want to know because I lose 2 lbs and it stays the same for a week or so. Help me if you know how to help me.

1-2 lbs per week is considered healthy and normal.

Like you, my weight loss was quick at first, then it tapered off.

If I average it now, I lost less than a pound a week. But I am proud of that, and it added up because it was consistent.

I am now, 16 months out and 95 pounds down.

OK, I just checked my calculation, I am wrong. I lost on average of 1.5 pounds per week on average. I tend to lose a bunch, then maintain, lose a bunch then stall.

Anyway, just remember, a year WILL go by and each and every day and week you WILL be lighter.

Good luck on your journey.

A major thing that help me maintain my sanity over the years was letting the scale go. I weighed myself once a month and focused mainly on inches. As you begin working out and weight training the inches and body fat are more telling.

Good luck hun!!

I lost really well and quickly - well I consider 2lb a week quick - for about six months, without even trying. The first six weeks I lost even faster than that. I'd lost most of my weight by 12 months and its just been very very slow since then, but most of that time, I've been within my healthy weight range so wouldnt expect to lose fast without superhuman effort.
