I was banded last tuesday 10/19. I got dressed for church yesterday and I noticed that my clothes were a little loose. But when I went to church and people was asking me if I was loosing weight I was like wow can people tell already??Today I went to my doctors appt and I got on the scale and omg I cant believe I lost 21lbs in less than a week of surgery. I went by the book this week and it paid off. So I just wanted to motivate the newbees.. Just stick to it and the results will come... good luck!

Awesome! That is quite a lot of weight! I hope you're eating plenty of Protein to keep your muscle strength up.

What liquids were you on?

I am hardly able to get anything down. I have been drinking water and whatever else works. Just mainly sipping everything. I had a little broth but wasnt able to tolerate that either. the doctor said as long as I was keeping things down not to worry. Tomorrow I start mushy foods so I will see how that goes. Right now I have no intrest in food. I hope it gets better.

It'll get better. Just get an unfill if needed or wait for the swelling to go down. It might take a while to find good restriction though, but everyone goes through that (besides the really really lucky ones).

Having no interest in food is good! It means the band works! :-) Just make sure you take a liquid Vitamin or equivilant to ensure you're getting enough nutrients.

Congrats on the loss! Feels great dosent it!!! Keep up the good work :thumbup:
