Hi I was banded on 6/20/2011 and started soft foods on 6/27/2011. My doctor doesn't make us do the mushy stage. Anyway, I haven't lost any weight since then, in fact I gained a little bit (like a pound). I still can't eat very much. I guess I am still swollen. Yesterday I had an egg for lunch, and a small piece of chicken parmesan (maybe 2 - 3 oz) for dinner. I also had a Protein Shake. I just don't know why I am not losing weight when I'm eating so little. Is this normal?

hi a miller i was wondering the same thing.i had my surgery on the 22nd of june.i was loosing at firt and to nite i stepped on the scale and had gained 2lbs.im so upset.tomorrow i will join a gym cause i see just walking aint gonna get it.i also eat very lil but i guess right now it really doesnt matter cant wait to get my first fill 8-5-2011.good luck

yes it depend on the dr. office.but the hard part is out the way..im sure u will be approved.i also started my journey in january and i got my surgery date on 6-7-2011.started liquid diet on 6-8-11.so good luck

I had my last dr. appointment on Monday with Pulmonary, everything went good. My dr sent my paperwork today to my insurance for approval. I'm excited and pray that it will be approved. I began my journey on January 26th so it hasnt even been 5 months yet but it seems like it has been forever. Does anyone know how longs it takes to get a surgery date after the insurance approval? I guess it probably depends on the dr. office.

Congrads to the both of y'all. Tomorrow will go smooth.i wish i was where y'all are.
