Wasn't expecting 16 pounds in 19 days!

[skb123 308]

Okay I was sure hoping to lose at least 15 pounds the first month. But yesterday got on the doctors scale and was happy to find I had lost 16 pounds in just 19 days since banding! Yeah! I know there are a lot of stories of good losses here, however I had lost 176 pounds prior to banding so I thought it might be slower for me. My surgeon told me I could expect to lose 30-40 pounds in the first couple months. But like I said I just did not expect such a good loss! Puts me just 8 pounds away from the 200 gone point! Maybe by my 1 month point who knows? Have a blessed day one and all!

Congrats. That's great. I was banded on July 15th. But I have not lost weight like I thought I would. Only 8 lbs. Waiting for first fill on 8/23, I hope that will help with losing. Any advise.

The only thing I can think of is I walk about 2 hours each day. And if it is too hot outside I go to the mall and walk plus I do go to the gym and hit the treadmill. Also I eat lots of dark green veggies,they really help with weight loss and I really don't know why, but the do. A guy friend of mine eats anything he wants and stays slim as can be and he has heavy whip in his coffee but he eats lots of dark green veggies. Can't help but think part of it is genes!

The band is a tool. Brain functions still work. Listen to the band and why you had the surgery!
