I lost 9 1/2 the first week and only 1 the second. I just finished my third and have lost 2 1/2 more for a total of 13. I am amazed so far. I know it is mostly water, but so what? I don't have to lay down on the bed to fasten my jeans!! LOL Good job on your first week!!!

I am only three weeks post op, however, I felt the need to respond here. Before my surgery, I talked to someone who thought she had a too large band installed. I thought this was something that was the choice of the patient. When I arrived at the hospital, I specifically asked about this. He said the size is determined after they are inside of you based on the amount of fat in the area. I received the small band also. I have researched every aspect of this surgery and I think you have reached a point of malnurishment. You need to stop the Ice Cream and get some protein drinks. You can find them at Bariactric web sites. They may take a little time but once you get your nutrition up to par, you will feel much better. Best of luck D.
