<p>Hello bandsters</p> <p> </p> <p>I have one question for you all...what is a normal weight loss for the 1st week after surgery. I lost 13 pounds...isnt that too much to lose in one week?</p>

p.s. how do I update my ticker? (sorry, new at this)

Wonderfull, I was banded 11/08/05, so 6 weeks ago, and i lost till yesterday 15kilo 33lb. I'm very happy.:Bunny

I also lost 13 lbs the first week-I'm sure it's mostly water weight, because it has deifnitely slowed down!

Yep- water weight. I lost 15 lbs the first week.

Congrats on your loss! You need to make a new ticker from scratch when you want to change the weight.

I lost about 8lb first week, I"ve lost about 13 in 2 weeks. I've never been someone who drops heaps in the first week of a diet either, 8lb is my biggest ever one week loss.

I'm rapt with it.

I lost 18 lbs in the first 2 weeks but as soon as I started to get out of the liquid phase I gained 5 lbs back. I am now in week 6 and will be going back for my first fill next week. I was worried about loosing so much so fast but it evens out as your body adjust to the new diet. Wasn't loosing like that great fun?!
