Well I had my Band on MAy 5 2008 and have lost 12 pounds since then. Will keep you posted on my weightloss

Thank you guys for the info.

How can I continue to lose weight before my first fill. I had surgery on may 5th and have lose 10 pounds so far, mainly because of the liquid diet. I had my one week post op visit Tuesday and the PA told me that I may not lose anymore weight in the following weeks. That concerns me, that may discourage me. I will be on my Tread Mill and may start working some cardio. I don't want to over do it. I would like to hear from people who have continued to lose weight before their first fill to encourage me please help!!! I am still sticking to my post op diets to the T, don't want to gain any weight.

May 5 Realize band here

Thank you so much for all the responses it is nice to see people in the same boat as me. I have been hungry now since I have healed more. my stomach is growling and I want to EAT but I am trying different broths. Tuesday I will go back to the doctor and maybe he will transition me to mushies. If not I will def be in the phase of yogurt protein shakes apple sauce and

I haven't taken any pain meds at all since I have been home. I have a great tolerance for pain. the gas was horrible, I do walk alot and purchased some gas x strips yesterday. i keep a heating pad on my back and belly which seems to help me. I was having a lot of doubts the first 2 days I was home, thinking to my self WHAT HAVE I DONE can't eat anything I LIKE ANYMORE. WHAT IF I DON'T LOSE WEIGHT. but today i weighed my self I am down 10 pounds which I am sure is water but it looks good to me. I feel much better today. It is very hard being on the clear liquids but I am doing well not cheating at all.. How is your recovery going?

Thank you everyone for the quick responses. I think I will call my doctor tomorrow. It is so hard especially with me having kids and my husband that are eating all these good regular foods every day. I have a follow up on tuesday but that is 5 more days from today i would love to start my apple sauce skim milk and protein shakes
