Now I know that there are many variables, such as how much volume is in your band, how far out of surgery you are, etc etc. So what I am asking for is just IN GENERAL how much weight YOU are losing between fills. Any other info you want to give as to your stats is strictly up to you. I'm not trying to compare myself with others, or any of you with anyone else, as I know we all lose at different rates.....I'm just simply curious. Thanks for participating.

I lost ZERO.

I got adjustments until I lost my first ounce. And I would have gone back for adjustments if I stopped losing weight, but I didn't. Once I got restriction that was it during the entire time.

After I met goal I went in for a slight unfill so I'd stop losing weight.

After my fills I lose around 5 lbs a week for the first two weeks, by the 3rd. week i stall or lose less than 2 lbs. My 4th. week is my worse and I need another fill by that time.

I've only had 2 fills. I lost 10lbs after the first one(in 6 weeks) and then 6lbs after the 2nd one. I thought about getting another fill when I was at doc appt today, but I really don't think I need it. I do have restriction as long as I follow the band rules and eat solid Protein first.

      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.
