I had my surgery on Jan 14th 2008. In the first 10 days I lost 13 pounds....now that I am 10.5 weeks out I have only lost 12 pounds. I have a 10 CC band and I have 4.5 CCs in it. I am eating hardley 800 calories a day...shouldnt I be loosing A LOT more weight than I have? I know people that are doing Jenny Craig that are loosing faster than me and I had surgery!!!!!

thanks...I have had 2 fills. Fill number one was 3CCs and Fill number 2 was 1.5 CCs for a total of 4.5 CCs. I am watching my portions and am eating around 800 calories a day...prior to surgery I was eating around 2000 a day....

I am two weeks out and lost 13 pounds in 10 days and now all the sudden I have gained 2.5 pounds....has this happened to anyone else? I am still eating blended foods. It is so discouraging when you arehardly eating anything and you see a gain of any kind. HELP....scared this lap band surgery wont work for me....:rolleyes2: Thanks!

I am 2 weeks out and in the first 10 days I lost 13 pounds now over the past 3 days I have gained 2.5 pounds back.....I have not changed what I am doing or eaten more, still on blended foods. Why would I gain weight eating so very little (less than 1000 calories per day) Maybe someone else went thru this... Help!

Thank you for telling me this....I was in tears and everything this morning. I felt like a failure and like this surgery was not going to work for me. I apprecaite you following up with me!!! Smiles,

I was banded on 1/14 and am feeling great! I am just a little sore in the tummy but have lost 13 pounds and am back to work and doing great. Is it unusual to feel this good. I have had no issues eating or drinking the protien shakes. :tongue:

I am glad that I am not the only one...You are excatly right....I am walking on pin and needles waiting for the "real" recovery. I should just feel blessed that I feel so good. :rolleyes2: I am still on liquids, but I can hang with 99% fat free Cream of chicken soup everyday....it is so good. Thanks for your feedback

Question: Do you crave healthy stuff now that you are banded?

WOW....I am so happy that people are so honest on here. I am craving a big bowl of pasta.....but I know I cant have it so I drink a protien shake and deal with it. Now I feel like there is not an option to "cheat" I have to stick to it..... -
