Weight loss for April bandsters anyone?

[Peaches78 8]

I was banded on 4/26..... I lost 16 lbs pre-op (3 weeks of shakes) and have lost another 4 lbs. since being banded.

Today when I woke up was the first day I was really hungry since surgery..... I had some applesauce and about 1/4 of a scrambled egg and was satisfied. Today was the first day I actually had some soft/mushie food. Obviously I'm not eating much but I'm having shakes in between as well to get in the Protein.

I am one week and 4 days banded and had 2 days pre op. I have not been hungry at all since being banded. I have to make myself eat to get the Protein. It's a good thing I like my Protein Shakes otherwise I wouldn't get it all in. Still sore but getting better everyday.

I was banded on April 11th 2011. I just got off the liquid diet and have lost 23 pounds while on liquids and 75 pounds since I started the program. I get my first fill in a week.

Spot- how was your first fill?

It was alright. I was a bit weirded out by having a huge syringe sticking out of me while I took drinks of Water, but I survived, lol. I'm taking it pretty easy, food wise, so I'm not sure if my first fill is going to be enough for me or not.

I started the pre-op diet on 4/11 and was banded on 4/27. I lost 10 pounds during the pre-op period, and I had lost another 7 pounds as of my post-op doctor's visit on Thursday, 5/5. I ordered a scale so I can track my weight loss from home.

Wow, that is great. I lost about 20 lbs. before surgery and nothing changed for the first 6 weeks after surgery. It actually didn't start going down again until 2 weeks after my first fill at around the 7 1/2 week mark. How many fills have you had and when did the band start helping you? I can feel it help me a little since the first fill but not much.

My weight loss has been minimal at best, but that's to be expected with a flipped port which means no fills!!! Ugh!!! Also, I'm not excercising as much as I should...

[1970MaleJaxFL 7]

I have no idea why but the band seemed to kick in about 2 weeks after my first fill. I started dropping like crazy losing around 7 lbs. in a week and a half. i think my brain finally started seeing portions in a more reasonable way. No normal looks like a lot less food to me.

I have 32 since surgery, 46 overall since my consultation. I was a tight size 20 or XXL.. now fit comfortably into a size 14/16 and a L. I put a bikini on for the first time since my late teens and felt comfortable in it. Im proud of my scars.. Good luck to everyone!
