I'm having a bad day. i was band on july 30th. i had problems the day of surgery and was rush to the ER and had to have the primer fluid removed..its now aug.12th and i have only lose 3lbs since surgery date. i walk four blocks a day i still manage to eat 1/4 cup of food at each meal even though i be still hungry. I'm not able to endure the shakes as of yet.... but i do drink 1/4th cup of it in the mornings... what am i doing wrong.....

The first 4-6 weeks after surgery are for following your post op diet and healing not losing. Right now, giving your stomach time to heal is the priority.

Btw, losing 3lbs in 2 weeks is actually right on par with where you should be. The average weight loss with the band is 1-2 pounds per week. You've lost 1.5 pounds per week.

Best wishes.

Like mis73 said. Welcome to the site and best wishes on your healing! You are only 12 days out of surgery, you know. Calm down!!!
