Curious as to average 1 month losses (including pre op) - also... if you're further along.. what CC did you stop at ???

I was banded in July 2010 so I honestly don't remember what my first months loss was. As for the cc's in my band, it's ever changing! I think I'm at about 4.5 cc's right now in a 10 cc band. I have had many fills and un-fills over the last 28 months but I no longer worry about finding the elusive "sweet spot" that so many bandsters obsess about. As long as I record what I'm eating and stick around 1200 calories, life is good...

ok- I was shocked yesterday during my first fill to find out when he put the band in I had 3 ccs!? So after my first fill.. I'm now at 4cc! I'm down about 18 from pre op and am now 1 months post..

At one month past my pre op I had lost 23 lbs. As of today it is 25 lbs.

My ticker shows my weight loss from Christmas when I started to try and lose on my own. I lost approx 10 lbs in 10 months on my own.

Band is definitely working for me

I had surgery oct 26th and I am down 33 pounds already I have 3cc into band from surgery

I didn't have a pre-op diet (yes, I was one of the lucky ones) and I lost 27 pounds my first month.

I currently have 4.9cc in my 10cc band and am definitely in the Green Zone.

I lost 14 pounds pre op and 12 pounds first month after surgery, i have 5.5 in my 10 cc band really close to green zone!

I lost 26 lbs including the preop diet in my first month. I had surgery on July 2, 2012 and my fills are shown in my signature. I am not sure how many cc's he placed during surgery, maybe 1 or 2cc's. I think I am about one fill away from the green zone.

Pre Op weight 377

Surgery Day weight 352 lost 25 lbs

1 month 329 lost 23 lbs

First fill 8 weeks post op

At 23 months I have 5.7cc in my band and am in the green zone

My highest weight when I started my 2 week pre-op diet on 09/23/11 was 276lbs. I was banded 10/7/11 at 258.3 lbs with nothing added to my 10cc band.

First fill: 10/31 for 3.5cc at 249lbs.

Second: 12/12 for 1cc at 237.5lbs

Third: 02/08 for 1cc at 228.5lbs

Fourth: 04/09 for 1cc at 225lbs

Last: 07/03 for .5cc at 213lbs

I am now at 188lbs and loving my band! Everyone is different and you will find a comfortable spot eventually. It took me 8 months, so don't get frustrated or over-anxious. I'm glad my weight loss has been slow and steady. No major health issues and less excess skin! WoOhOo! Good luck!

I'm not even at a month, preop liquids started oct 30 and surgery nov 9th.... Down from 287.9 to 264.4=23.5 lbs in 2 weeks and 1 day!

I lost 18lbs the first month. I have 3cc's in a ten cc band. I am at my sweet spot on most days.

I am at 4 .. and I feel like "this isn't phasing me" .. I guess its good I haven't had any issues or anything.. But I feel it's slower than I'd like.> haven't stepped on the scale since my fill.. I will tomorrow at my one week mark.. I just have this feeling... nothing has moved..

4 lbs a week aint bad right? If u did that every week you would be at 16 lbs for the month which from what i gather is a great post op loss? I am getting banded soon and i am nervous about post op loss. I know slow and steady wins the race and everything.... i think its natural to want to hit the ground running after something so drastic.

I do want drastic!! haha.. I meant I have 4ccs .. not 4lbs this week.. I'd be happy with 4lbs a week for sure

Haha, trust me, I can't say I'll be disappointed if I lose 4 lbs a week! So how did your weigh in go?
