lotzasunshine 2 Posted July 31, 2008 I would definitely listen to your surgeon. Take it easy and let your body heal. If you are feeling ambitious take a long walk. You might call your surgeon and let him know how good you are felling again. If he says to let things settle longer than I suggest following his advice. Good luck!!

kimlam 0 Posted July 31, 2008 I had my surgery on July 3rd. I went on liquid diet 1 week prior to surgery & didn't weigh until after my surgery. I am down 24 pounds from 1 week prior to surgery. I lost 16 pounds immediately then I went over 1 week with no weight loss. Today is 24 pounds. I was getting concerned. I have my first feel next Friday. I'm a little curious as to what to expect and if I am going to feel different. I'm not having a lot of problems eating. Yesterday some food got stuck but it only lasted about 30 min. Just curious to know if anything is going to change. Good luck to everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisadental 0 Posted August 1, 2008 I was banded on 7/24/08 and had a 10 day pre-op liquid diet. I've lost 15 lbs so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smidgen21 0 Posted August 2, 2008 I wasn't really required to do a pre-op diet, except Clear liquids the day before surgery. Including the liquid diet starting Monday July 7th, I have lost right at 14 pounds. I am so excited. I don't get my first fill until the 21st, which can't come soon enough! We are true band twins! I was banded 7/8 and my 1st fill is 8/21!:cursing: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

missrach 0 Posted August 4, 2008 can u please help me im nearly 2 weeks post op and i want to go to gym but m,y surgeon says let things settle and then go can anyone let me no what they did cause i am feeling great susie You normally have to wait 4-6 weeks, and trust me, you will need it. You will feel it if you do too much! Take it easy and just walk. That's a workout in itself! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thelonedaisy 0 Posted August 13, 2008 i am down 15 pounds with no preop diet. i had surgery on the 28th so i am 16 days out and feel great!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lotzasunshine 2 Posted August 13, 2008 Well, here is my update. I had lost as much as 15.5 lbs at one point, but TOM destroyed that.:crying: I am now hanging out in the 294ish range, fluctuating sometimes up to 297. So that makes the total right now about 14lbs. It scares me that I may go up past 300 again so I am trying really hard. But I get my first fill next week so that should help a lot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jessicadyan7 0 Posted August 13, 2008 I was banded the 28th and I've lost 8lbs so far! Unless my scale at home is lying to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tottie1990 0 Posted August 13, 2008 My surgery date was 7/16/08. I have lost a total of 22 lbs. including preop. I am feeling rather discouraged because since surgery(4 weeks yesterday) I have only lost 8lbs., all in the first week. I haven't lost anything in the last 3 weeks!! I am eating nearly all Protein and adhering strictly to the diet. I am eating only 800-1100 calories, usually on the low end. According to the charts, I should even lose two lbs. a week on 2,180 calories. So why isn't the weight coming off? I have spent so much money and this is my last ditch effort. What if it doesn't work? Yes, 22 lbs. is great but its not near enough. I have another 100lbs to lose. Please encourage me!! Thanks.:crying: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
