Hi everyone! I'm 18 and today is my 2 week mark since having the gastric lap-band surgery. I just kind of wanted to know how much success everyone had at 2 weeks? Last friday I weighed myself and have already lost 18 lbs I will be weighing myself again today. Is it normal to feel nervous? Now that I have had the surgery I feel really afraid to not lose weight, I guess I am just anxious, but I know weight loss takes time. Any advice on how to not feel so anxious? I would really appreciate it.

Love, Stef.

Congratulations on your new life! I will say, I am 38 and afraid I won't loose all the weight. I think it is probably a very normal feeling. Just remember, it took years to put on and with this process it may take years to get off! But, this is such a safe and lasting way to loose the weight. Congrats on your decision!

Today is my 2nd week and i have lost a total of 21 pounds and hoping to lose 10 more for the next to weeks before i get my first fill on may 3rd.

Hi Stef,

I am 3 weeks post op and I totally understand where you are coming from! You are doing excellent on your weight loss so keep it up! Try not to think about the pounds you are losing in the first weeks after surgery, this should be a time for you to heal (or so I hear)....You can do this!

Love and Sunshine,
