When I started with this whole band thing I was 224lbs and the day of surgery 11/2/12 I was 211lbs and now I'm 203lbs I just need to know if I'm doing everything good or should I have been losing more

What does your doctor say?

It's a good loss.... But if you aren't satisfied with it maybe chat with the dr to see what you could be doing to help it along... Are you tracking your calories, eating the proper portions and following bandster rules? Maybe you need to up your water intake..or lower or increase your calories......that helps some people lose more efficiently. I would schedule an appoint to share your concerns with him

Thanks yes I'm doing everything I should but I'll see in 4months

I had surgery 3 days before you and I am down 38 pounds. I have seen people down less than that in that time and way more too. I work out five days a week and eat 1200 calories a day.

Be proud that you are losing and know you control how fast it is by the calories you eat and work outs you do. You van do this!!!!

Thanks I know we can do this this week coming im going to work harder I'm doing 1560 calories aday and sometime I can't fit all of them is that bad

also remember, the more a person weighs, usually the faster they lose in the beginning. You seem to be losing pretty well, but like floridays said.. ask the doc and see what you can do.. do you exercise? maybe you lose more inches then weight also.

Most doctors say a lap band patient will lose 1 to 2 pounds a week. And you are losing around 2 pounds a week. Considering you're relatively low start weight I think you're losing at a pretty quick pace. As mentioned above someone who is 300 pounds the day of surgery is going to probably lose more weight up front then someone who is 230 pounds. While I was 280 pounds the day of. surgery I had already lost 100 pounds from diet and exercise. So even though I believe I was a very very good banister I have been a slow loser
