So its been 15days now since i got banded. I have lost 15 the first week and 4lbs since then. I been eating protein drink cottage cheese or egg for BF. Protein Shake and salad with chicken for lunch and dinner. I do treadmill 45mins in the morning and 45mins at night. I do get hungry most of the time and able to eat anything if i want to. My question is if any of you guys have the same problem with the scale stuck and you doin everything right. I HATE IT!!!!

I a word yes. I lost about 20 pounds in the first two weeks and now am doing less than a pound a week. I am weighing all my protein; eating responsibly, and exercising an hour a day 7 days a week. I am looking forward to my 4 th fill hopefully that will give me some restriction.

You are doing everything right! My advice, stop getting on the scale for 1 week or 2. Keep doing what you are doing and the weight will come off! Give it time, it won't happen overnight!

Good luck!

ok so i guess im doing good then. Mybe im just expecting more. Coz most of the pips here are losing lots of weight fast. Mybe if they give us a lil secret on how they do it.

Congrats!!

It sounds like you are doing great. You didn't get fat overnight and you aren't going to get skinny overnight.

PS. What dressing are you using on your salad? "SALAD" is only as healthy as what you put on it. If you dump a cup of fat-filled dressing on a salad, it is no longer healthy.

I have good weeks and bad weeks. I have weeks where I gain 5 pounds. I just keep my head up and do what I know I am supposed to.

I forgot password to my web domain. So, I am going to try and attach my progress table directly here.

My surgery was March 2, 2010. Please note that my weight loss slowed at that time instead of increasing.

The gray stuff at the bottom is predictions. There is a big dip next week because I am having my panniculectomy.

I don''t think you are suppose to drink with your meal!! It move the food thur the pouch which cause you to get hungry. But hey you are doing great. They say we will lose 1 to 2 pounds a week some people only lose 1/2pound. You could be losing inches Good luck to you

Sound like you r doing great but remember we are suppose to drink with are meal. It make the food not stay in the pouch, And this is how we lose weight by keeping the food in the pouch atleast 3 to 4 hours and also they said my doc we can expect to lose 1 to 2 pound a week some people1/2pound. I wish you the best of and the weight lost so far is outstanding

I had a weird experience. I am six weeks post op. For the last two weeks, the scale stayed exactly the same and I was eating between 800 - 1000 calories. I was only exercising 30 minutes/day. I had not had a fill (I got my first one today) and was starving. Anyway this week, I snapped and decided to eat Thanksgiving and then ended up eating it again in leftovers the next day. Back on track Sat and Sun. My weigh-in is every Monday. Today I had lost 5 lbs!!! I don't get it. My theory is that my body went into "starvation" mode and metabolism shut way down. The two days I ate shocked it into kicking back in. I have heard that some athletes do this kind of "interval" eating. I don't think it is something I want to rely on but it is nice to know that we can eat crazy once in awhile and it is not the end of the world. Also, just when you think the scale is never going to move, it does!

You're not much more than 2 weeks post-op; your body takes 6 weeks+ to heal. Losing weight right now shouldn't be your goal. Allow your body to heal and get used to having a foreign object inside of your body.

With most people, weight loss slows after surgery. You're not going to lose another 15lbs as quickly as you did during your pre-op diet. Like others have said, you didn't get fat overnight, and you're not going to lose it overnight either.

Be patient and give yourself time. Your body will come around soon enough. Until then, keep doing what you're doing, and maybe stay off the scale for awhile.

i was banded on nov 22 and have lost 21 pounds in one week. my question to u is did ur doctor put u on a special diet? cuz my first week was only Clear liquids, Water and Jello. now i am on week two which is Protein drinks, Soup, and oatmeal all no sugar added. i am only aloud to eat 3-4 ounces every 3 hours, nothing but water in between. i am not aloud to move up to stage 3 until week three, then its only pureed food. are you taking Vitamins?

Yup I have the same diet as you do. First week jello protein shake and broth. second week cottage cheese or yogurt lite protein shake. Im on my third week now ang im eating eggs and chicken on a blender. lucky you lost 21lbs and im only lost 17lbs now

Banding is not about quick weight-loss. Aside from the fact that you just had surgery that your body is healing from, you need to adjust. Weight loss is not steady. You had a HUGE loss with 15 lbs. It may take some time to get going again.

My losses were in starts and stops. Down 3, up 1, down 2, up 2, steady for 2 weeks, up 1. Keep following your doctor's orders, and over time you will get to your goal. You cannot expect losses every week. Bandsters can expect an -average- of 1-2 pounds per week.

Well all I can say is that I understand and feel your frustration, my scale is stuck on the same number for over a week no matter what I do. This is so frustrating, I'm gonna start going to the gym this week and hopefully that will help.... I'll let you know. I think sometimes what if the band slipped, and I get freaked out because I dont want another surgery
