Hi, I was banded early Feb so im a few wks post op. Trying to learn to eat more proteins and stay full. Eating lots of fish, eggs, and chicken for dinner and lunch with shake for breakfast. Feels pretty much the same as pre-surgery so dr said might get fill next visit. Seems very early to me but Im often hungry and do want results. I'm down about 20 lbs since my pre surgery diet-so most pre-op weight loss. Any suggestions or tips?

Im just about ready to begin exercise so im hoping that kicks it into gear.

I was banded early in February as well. The veterans will tell you that post op weight loss will slow down and it is normal. This is the time for healing not weight loss. I was a little frustrated with this as well but I keep logging calories and walking. I am sure the scale will start to move eventually.

Congrats on your band! Good luck.

This is normal until you start getting fills. Remember, this is not a quick fix. It gets easier. Good luck and stick to the rules and you'll be fine!
