3 week post band

By lori49

· 279 views

it's been 3 weeks since my band. it's been easy so far. i follow the dr's instructions and do as i'm told. i started mushy foods yesterday and i stayed fuller longer about 5hours. as of todays date i lost 20lbs (this is just since my band).

 

i try and walk 3 miles a day. my goal now is to get all my water in ( very hard). I will post next week. i hope you all are doing well.

    i lost 20 lbs. the 2 weeks before surgery and i am now 2 weeks post band and haven't lost anything. is that normal? it's disappointing, i feel as though maybe it didn't work for me.

    Please don't worry..it will happen. Some people lose it faster than others.. Just follow the dr advice and do not lose focus. just think in terms of months not weeks. you cant decrease your calories and not lose weight. oh, i did not have to do a pre op diet so maybe thats why i lost the weight...hang in there.
