Hey everyone! My surgery was 6 weeks ago and I've only lost 18 lbs. I know everyone is different, but just wondering where everyone else is/was at this point?

I am 5 weeks and down 12kg which is nearly 27 pounds but haven't lost much in the last 2 weeks

Stared @ 270 lost 12 lbs before meeting surgeon..258 lost 10 pre op ...248 and currently 232.

It took me 1 year to lose the first 12 lbs on my own and now just 2 lbs away from _40

Help! I'm scared to have the lap band procedure. My surgery is Feb.26' date='2013. I was overwhelmed at pre-op seminar today. Anyone else scared??[/quote']

Hey Kid - I understand how you feel - I felt the same way ... Even thought ... Are you guys (Doc n staff) trying to talk me out if this ?? But they were just getting my "mind right" so I understood the procedure was no magic pill and required work.

I had the surgery and it was THE BEST DECISION EVER... Look at my pics - walk away with HOPE ... If it worked for me (Lost 280 lbs) it will work for you : )

Hope in your Future is Power in your Present!

I'm 9 weeks out 20 lbs total since surgery but stopped losing. Finally had a fill yesterday I don't feel different I and still measuring my meals and doing tons of water. I was doing more coffee than normal lately and my stress from work has really been over whelming me. But I am excited to see what's ahead!!!

Jewel, you sound exactly like me when I was there. I was very lucky too. I have only had one fill since banded over a year ago. I rarely eat three times a day, but do snack a little. Never really hungry. Down 149 pounds. Stick with what is working!

Thanks Sue! I plan on reserving the fills for when I REALLY need them and I'm sure one day I will be glad they are there!

I lost 17 during the 2 week pre-op diet. I am now 4 weeks post-op and I've lost an additional 17 pounds. (I have a lot to lose, though!) Keep up the great work! Everyone loses at a different pace.

I am two weeks post op and have lost 6 pounds I lost 18 on my one week pre op!

I am 5 weeks post op 27 lbs since surgery...10 lbs prior..total -37 lbs....week 3 and four scales barely moved..my doc wont let you exercise until 6 weeks post op...I have 61 lbs to goal!

I'm 2 weeks and 2 days post-op and I'm down 20lbs.

I will be 6 wks on the 27th. My total loss has been 25 lbs. 18 pre op' date=' 7 post op. I feel like mine is slow also. I keep telling myself that my goal is to lose 65 lbs which isn't as much as some others goals. I also remind myself that my dr is still dealing with my meds to regulate my thyroid due to having mine removed several years ago. On my one month band date I rejoined my local gym:) I am doing 1 hour of Zumba 4 days per week. We have to remind ourselves that even if it is only 1 step forward, it is a step in the right direction:) hoping my weight loss will pick up next month![/quote']

I just found out today my thyroid isn't really working. Just what I need

I'm 11 weeks post op and down 28 lb

Im definately becoming discouraged... Im 12wks post op and about to have a 2nd fill tomorrow. I measure my meals, avoid snacking and even sometime have to remind myself to eat 3 xs per day. But I also have Pcos which made weightloss initially a battle. Just hoping I dont disappoint my surgeon tomorrow! #HateToFail#
