What is happening?

Hello everyone. I am worried. I was banded on June 28. It's been three weeks. I lost 11 pounds during my pre op 5 day liquid diet and 6 pounds since surgery ( post op liquid diet). needless to say, ALL of my weight loss has been due to liquids! I am walking 2.5 miles every day on the treadmill ( for an hour). My concern is that the scale is not moving! I am still on mushy food, but I know that I'm doing well following portion size. I am worried that my doctor will fill me on Monday, July 22 and that it will be too tight. I'm so confused, because I feel that considering what I used to eat to what I'm eating now, my weight should be decreasing. Maybe I'm worried because I have been reading no weight loss horror stories in this forum.

I was banded 6/27 and have lost12 lbs, so I understand! This time is dedicated for healing. I'm learning its too soon to look for the weightloss. I will get my fill on the 24th and soon we'll both see the fruits of our labor. Hang in there and lets keep in touch! :-)
