Two and a half weeks, two and a half months, two and a half years?? If it's weeks and you've lost ten, wow!!! If it's months and you've lost ten, still not too bad considering all the swelling and healing from surgery. If it's years, then you've got something to be down about!

Don't feel bad i get my first fill on 7/12, i've only lost 12 lbs in the process, they tell me that i should start losing once i get that first fill and excercise regularly and "EAT THE RIGHT FOODS" which i'm sticking to so we'll see what happens after that.... :unsure:

I think you are doing pretty good. You still have 2 more weeks to loose before your fill so you will probably be at 15 to 20 for your first month. You are half way there!

I was banded on june 11th and have only lost 7 pounds since surgery. Sounds like your doing great. I get my first fill on july 17. I am not to concerned it takes time and i am not going to stress over only 7 pounds. Seven pounds is seven pounds. I am happy with that for only two and a half weeks. Since i started the whole process last november i have lost a total of 33 pounds and i feel great about were i am at. We will all get there!

Really? 10 lbs in 2.5 weeks? Do you know we should expect 1-2 pounds per week AFTER we reach the proper fill level, many months into the process.

Do you want to know how much I had lost at 2.5 weeks? 4 pounds, and that was from week 1. At 2 months when I got my first fill, I was down about 5 lbs. I did not start losing until about 6 months out, after my 3rd fill. This is NOT quick weight loss like bypass.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
