Hello all I was banded on December 6th and have only lost 2 pounds since. I did really well for the 6 months preop and lost 45 pounds. I was just wondering if this lack of weight loss is normal, I am becoming very frustrated and worried. I am not eating alot and I am drinking the amount of Water I should, I also make sure I get my Protein daily, I have started doing Zumba this week (hopefully that will help). Any suggestions or support would be great.

Thanks Melanie

Remember that the first 6 weeks after surgery should be focused on healing. You've lost 45lbs so far, reward yourself. That is a lot of weight to lose in 6 months. Give your body time to heal from surgery.

My advice: keep on trucking, stay off the scale, measure yourself now and then measure yourself again in a few weeks, I bet you'll see a decrease in those numbers even if it doesn't show on the scale. If you aren't gaining then you're doing something right, right?
