no weight loss?!

Has anyone else out there NOT lost any weight after surgery? Im almost 1 month post-op and nothing has happened. I eat what I should ( lots of protein and very few carbs) and I exercise regularly. Whats up with this? Im so disappointed. I read all the posts and so far almost all of the post-op posts talk about weight loss early on. Im so jealous. I realize that everyone is different but this is just nuts!

food question

Is there a bandster out there who can eat whatever they want just smaller portions? Other than bread, are there other foods that dont seem to work with the band. I get my first fill in 4 weeks. Right now Im starving and I can eat anything so Im just wondering if that will change.

when does weight loss start

I have a question for all you bandsters out there. I was banded 3 weeks ago. My doc has me on regular food now. So for over 2 weeks I was consuming about 800 cals a day. Now I am eating a little more. I walk 5K a day. I was wondering if anyone could explain to me when the weight loss will begin. I actually lost nothing but I gained a pound. Once I get a fill I cant imagine eating much less than 800 cals a day especially when exercdising a lot. Just seems so weird that my body isnt respo

15 days post op

I was banded 15 days ago. I had my follow up appointment today. I love my doc. He's very liberal. I was only on full liquids for a week then mushies for a week. Now he wants me to eat normally.

He said there is no need to be on liquids for as longs as I read most people are. I have been very hungry but Im getting kind of use to it. I w

2 days post-op

I had my surgery Tuesday the 12th. I am paying out of pocket so I didnt use any pain meds and refused the meds they wanted to give me in the hospital. Really, I felt ok. My pain level was about a 4 and that was mostly gas. I tried walking around the unit but that did not help. My incision sites are sore and I still have slight gas pains. I kinda feel hungry which I didnt expect. Im on full fluids so I just had a cup of greek yogurt. Seems like everything went well and it was a fairly eas

worried

Hello! Today is my first day as a member of the site. I have been reading your messages for weeks now. I will be banded some time in September. I have 2 appointments to go. I am a self-pay. I'm getting very nervous because many of the posts talk about not much of a weight loss , being disappointed or being VERY hungry. Is the lapband worth all this money I will be paying? I have about 50lbs to lose. I love to work out but I also love to eat. I would asppreciate what anyone has to say
