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!!

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!

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:

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!

Hey all I haven't posted in forvever but I'm back! LOL. I have lost a total of 34lbs. That is going back to before the pre-op diet, which is where I lost most of my weight.

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!

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:
