i know that weight loss varies in eveyone but im wondering y ive worked so hard on pre op/post op dieting and have only lost 7 lbs? im doing everything my dr says to do. any ideas fellow lapbanders? ty in advance

I find if I eat less than four hours before bedtime or if I don't drink 80oz+ water daily, the loss may not show, even if I'm exactly on plan.

the water might b it,im on 7 day post op and cant hardly get 2 or 3 oz of water down

You've only been banded since April 24th. That's 6 days. Most people don't start losing until after they get a fill or two and have some restriction. The first month after surgery is for healing only not losing.

My advice is to put away the scale for a month and give yourself time to heal.

I'm so happy that I read this I'm only 10 days out of surgery n my weight I have been checking everyday I was down 8lbs until 2day n my weight has went back up 2lbs. I was so worried because I just starter purée 2day so I thought that had something 2 do with my weight gain. I get on my treadmill everyday for 30-40 minunte's a day n still gained 2lbs.

I have lost 12lbs. I was banded on 4/24 too. But last night I weighed again and had gained 2lbs. I've decided not to worry about weight loss until I can excersice. I hv my first dr. appt. Wed.

ty ladies for the advise
