Hey everyone! I'm getting banded on February 6 and was just curious to know how much everyone lost during their first post op week? 1st month?

Thanks!

I'd lost 15lbs during my first week. I will be 1 month post op on the 28th, so far I'm down 27lbs.

OMG! That's amazing!!

Thanks! I'm just taking it day by day. That weight loss definitely helped to keep me motivated.

I bet! How long post op are you? How much have you lost? Has it been difficult?

I started counting calories and measuring food portions the day I got home from the hospital and I really think that's why I lost a lot even early on. I lost around 13 pounds my first week and I lost close to 27 pounds the first month. By my first fill 8 weeks after surgery, I was already down 44 pounds.

Sorry, I didn't see those questions in your initial post, I edited my post above. Lol. But I'm not quite 1 month out, tomorrow is one month! I'm down 27 so far. That's since surgery, my dr didn't do a pre op diet. It hasn't been as bad as I thought. I haven't had the bandster hell that everyone talks about, so the eating hasn't been bad. I was pretty uncomfortable for a few days, but eventually that passed. Right now, I feel pretty normal, a little sore at my port site. But other than that, I'm just ready to get all this weight off.

Everyone is different so don't let what others lose get you down if you don't lose the same. I was banded 12/21. Lost 23lbs pre op. 7lbs the week after surgery. Nothing the two weeks after and when I got back on solids after that I dropped an additional 9lbs for a total loss of 39lbs so far. Any loss is a great loss!

Hi, everyone . Im just starting my pre opp diet . Surgery date is 9th feb please god . Im very nervus but excited too . im 54 and married wirh 4 grown up children and 2 beautifull grand children .

Wow!! Congratulations to each and every one of you! I hope I'll have just as great a number a all of you!!

I lost 7 pounds in the first post-op week.

I started my pre-op on Jan. 8 at 332. Last Monday, I was banded and weighed 315. This morning, I weighed 308. I am down a total of 24 pounds since starting the pre-op diet on Jan. 8. Last summer at my first visit with the surgeon, I weighed 346 so I'm down about 38 pounds since last summer. It's great and I'm looking forward to losing lots more. I like shopping in my closet for those clothes that I bought that would fit if I would "just lose a few pounds!"
