I had surgery on February 6th. I am 15 days post op, when I started pre op diet I was 205 lbs, day of surgery I was 200 and today I am 192. Any weight I have lost has been from liquid diet and has now plateaued. I started exercising 5 days ago and have been going back and forth between 190-193 lbs. I want to be able to lose at least another 5 lbs before my first fill but don't seem to be getting there. I am sticking to post op diet and can't seem to figure this out. I am working out daily about 45 mins, treadmill only because thats the only thing my doctor has allowed me thus far. Any suggestions or advice? I actually have a trip to miami planed for March right before my fill (which is on the 16th), want to be able to get into the upper 180s range by then.

I'm glad everyone else had similar stories. I'm going back to the gym tonight, am determined to get to 180s before first fill. Will keep you all updated.

yes thanks! I'm one week post op and keep getting offered food at work, I'm dying for something salty n yummy, tired of this liquid diet, had a bowl of oatmeal to try to sustain me but my body is craving something with flavor that will stuff me. guess this is something I'm going to have to get over with time.

Im in new jersey as well just got banded yesterday. trying to get through the pain, but I'm looking forward to this summer as well! good luck girl!
