Hi I was banded on 6/20/2011 and started soft foods on 6/27/2011. My doctor doesn't make us do the mushy stage. Anyway, I haven't lost any weight since then, in fact I gained a little bit (like a pound). I still can't eat very much. I guess I am still swollen. Yesterday I had an egg for lunch, and a small piece of chicken parmesan (maybe 2 - 3 oz) for dinner. I also had a protein shake. I just don't know why I am not losing weight when I'm eating so little. Is this normal?

I am 12 days out. In the preop phase 10 day liquid I lost 19. I had lost 5 lbs by the 5th day, but have gained all 5 lbs back. So I am still at my 19 from before surgery. I am hoping to start losing soon.
