I had my surgery on 5/7. I have lost a total of 30lbs. so far. I was on a 1 week liver shrinking pre-op diet. My first fill will be on 6/2.

I was banded on 5/22/09 and my Dr. did my first fill during the surgery. I am suppose to go for my 2nd fill in June. So far I have lost 15lbs. With pre op & post op I have lost a total of 30lbs. I am so excited. My husband even made a commit to me yesterday on how much weight I have lost.

I had surgery on May 22nd. I have lost 9 pounds since surgery. 21 including pre-op diet. I am heading back to the gym tomorrow. My surgeon gave me his blessing. I am hoping that will encourage additional weight loss during these first six weeks. My next appt is not until July 2nd.

It seems like ever since I started puree I am having a battle with the scale. When I was on liquid I would lose a pound a day. Now my weight seems stagnate I don't eat much at all. I'm not sure what is going on... Has anyone else experienced this?

I think we all experience that. I had my surgery on May 1st and had my first fill on May 28th. My doctor laughed at me when I went in because I was so upset about losing only 14 lbs. He said there is an unbelieveable amount of people that stop losing weight altogther or gain back some of their weight once they get to pureed or soft foods. He also told me some people don't lose any weight (at all) from the time of their surgery to their first fill. Hope this helps.

I was banded 5-5-09 and have lost 13 lbs. I get my first fill 6-5-09. I currently do not feel I have any restriction, and haven't been exercising yet. :tt2: I am looking forward to the restriction and feeling full, because I am hungry a lot. I wish I had the same results as the person who was never filled and has lost 65 lbs!!!! That's amazing. :thumbup: Keep up the good work! :party:
