You're not doing anything wrong. Now is the time for your body to be healing. Many of us don't start experiencing weight loss until we start getting fills. So for now, just follow your doctor's directions on what you're supposed to be eating, and be patient. Hang in there.

Ditto, you are healing and should be taking it easy. Don't worry about the weight loss until you start eating real food. Then you need to apply the band rules with healthy eating and exercise rules and you should lose weight.

Be careful with that mind set. you might even gain some weight once you start eating solid food again or before you get filled. just really depends on the person. You are doing great, it is just the start of your journey. Remember this surgery can take much longer for you to lose the weight. Not sure what you have to lose total.

Good luck

Don’t get frustrated. Loosing weight is not an overnight phenomenon; it takes months, even years, to loose that added weight. Staying with the nutritional diet and exercise program during these critical periods is essential if you want to continue to lose weight in the long run.:thumbup:

Agreed with above. This is your new life, a new way of living. Relax, take time to heal. Don't be so hard on yourself. I am 3 months post op, and work out everyday, and eat well and there are still weeks I don't loose. Honestly, I don't care, I am focused on the big picture. So take care of yourself, and don't worry:)

I lost 16 pounds pre-op 8 the week after the surgery and then nothing for 9 days. Then it started back, I didn't do anything different. Your body just adjusts. Keep doing what you are doing and it will start coming off again. I just hit 30 today. Good luck

      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.
