i am 2 weeks post op and now on my full liquid diet. i lost 13 lbs my first week and now this week nothing i keep going up and down 3-4lbs. why am i not lossing anymore so disappointed. i am following my diet to the T. i can only have 1/4 cup of something every meal and snack in between. i started adding the protein in this week also and i am allowed to have cream of soups, sf pudding,jello, broth, sf popcicles, yogurt. all the water i want which i am finding it hard to just sip it seems like i can't get enough water throughout the day always thirsty. ugh frustrated.

I was just banded on July 16th and just found this site! I'd love to join u guys!

Hi -

I was banded on July 11th. I lost about 15 lbs pre op and then lost about another 5 post op. I have not lost anything in about a week now. Actually went up 2 lbs when I weighed this morning. However, after reading several post on here and other websites that seems to be normal. I go see my doctor on Friday but I am afraid that he is going to be disappointed in me. I would like to eliminate some of the carbs in my diet but it is kind of difficult with the dietary restrictions right now.

Same here! Got banded July 18th and lost 5lbs in the first couple of days...was so excited! But for the past 2 days, ever since I started the "slider" phase with yogurt, Soup, oatmeal, etc...I have not lost a single ounce. I'm going for my first post-op appointment tomorrow...will let you know what's up.

Hi Silly weasel,

How did it go at the doctor??

Hi Silly weasel' date='

It went good! He said my incisions look perfect and to keep doing what I'm doing. I told him about my concerns but he said it was too early for a fill. I have 1 month post-op appt 22 August, so maybe I can get a fill then if the pounds don't start coming off.

By the way, Cooper, how did the surgery go for you? You got banded on 23rd, right??

I just got banded yesterday (July 25). Feeling sore but I know it will get better. My surgeon also repaired a hiatal hernia while he was in there so it's hard to take a deep breath with my diaphragm hurting the way it is.

Would also love a buddy!
