ok so i am in the middle of week 3 almost 4 weeks post op, now I havent lost weight in like almost 2 weeks, havent gained, but havent lost is this normal? I added mushies last week, but still I think I should be losing something right? Or am I just weird... I guess I feel like ok... I have the lap band now... its in there, so that means I lose weight now right/// funny way to feel i know because in my head I know I havent had a fill yet so it's not like that. I feel like maybe I am just like ok... I waited soo long to get this done ( 2yrs+) now shouldnt this be working... just a little bummed its not like I thought thats all. tell me it gets batter after a fill right?

Pretty normal. The band is doing nothing for you until the fills start. I see you've lost quite a bit already. I started out at around 380 lost 100 from diet and execise, had surgery and have lost another 70. I am not trying to be a downer but I think you should prepare to be a slow loser. Your body is not "shocked" by this new diet. It has already lost 72 pounds.

i agree.. dont react to whats going on... just allow your body to re adjust and the weight loss will come. theres no guarantee that you will lose heaps in a month... but as long as you lose thats the main thing. The best result is a long term one, not short term.

And you're drinking lots of Water and still in recovery. When you get back in the swing, you'll be moving more, shopping, walks and appointments. All this will burn more calories. What you have is water weight and you will lose some weight, but you will notice inches changing. Be positive, you're doing great on weight control. You are way ahead of most people in losing weight prior to the band. The band fills will be later as you adjust to the band.

Keep the faith.
