I was banded on march 20th and I have lost 20 as of last wed. My doc told me I was doing great and was on the high end of losing. Remember this is not a race... it is the beginning of a new life. You are doing well. try not to compare your journey with someone elses. there are many factors and nobodys situation is exactly the same. Keep your chin up and be happy with YOUR sucess.

I would like to hear from others as well, I just had surgery on May 6th and would like to see some results of others post- op only.

You are doing awesome! I hear some don't lose at all but gain until they get their 1st fill. Looks like you are right on target at 2 lbs a week. Which is what I would love to shoot for. Plus your skin will thank you!

I had my first fill of 2cc on April 28 and I don't feel that much restriction but, as long as your still looseing I think it's ok. Sounds like you are right were your supposed to be!

I have lost 40 pounds to date and my surgery date was on March 18th. I just got my second fill today and my first last month on 4/15. Sometimes I fill like I have a restriction and other times I dont. Last week I ate a cheeseburger that my hubby grilled (not the best choice) and I ate real slowly and it went down, no problems. But then on Mothers Day I barely ate anything, though I tried. The PA today told me that some people dont start to fill restriction until the 3 or 4th. I am now @ 6ccs total!

Good Luck Everyone!

      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.
