I can't believe tomorrow is Tuesday and on Friday I will be joining the banded club!!!! The days have gotten easier to cope with, but I am a little concerned. I keep seeing that people loose anywhere from 10-25 lbs during their pre op diet and I have lost 2 lbs according to my scale :/. I have nothing but liquids and exercise as often as I can. Anyone else discouraged in the same way?!!

Give yourself time. How long have you been on the pre op diet?

I get banded tomorrow and I have only lost 6 pounds. You got to remember the heavier you are the more you loose and it may come off a bit quicker.

Good luck!!! Please let me know how it goes!

Don't ever compare your weight loss to anyone else. Just remember any loss is a success!

Best wishes to you, you can totally do this

You're right, I've always been bad about that. Thanks!

I wouldn't worry about that I only lost 7lbs and I was on the liquid diet for 3 weeks before surgery! My doctor said my body was in shock and was hanging in to the fat in other words it was in starvation mode! I'm my case I thought I was going to lose the weight very quickly but no I'm not that lucky! But hey any loss is better that no loss! Hand in there and good luck!!
