Hi all,

I am 1 week post op and have lost 8kg (17 ponds) in one week! I don't think that is normal? I have stuck very strictly to the clear fluids and have another 3 weeks to go on the clears! Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining just after some feedback on other people's weight loss in their first week.

I think I am mistaking clear and full fluids. I am now on smoothies And milk products so that means full fluids for next month. Not as bad as the clear fluids bit still getting quite hungry!

Thanks for replys by the way!

...im the same, im getting hungry as well. Im having baby food with some extra steamed potato blended in... and milk to make it sloppy enough for a straw... that does ease the problem a bit. its not a nice feeling to be hungry all the time. Is this the ''lapband hell'' that has been mentioned here??

...more on this one. i always understood that our stomaches would shrink after a while. i wonder... how long does it take and how much does it shrink??

I lost 12 pounds the first week but once I went on mushies/soft foods, I gained 5 back So I got a fill at my 2 wk appt.
