Hi all

I am so happy so want to share this...I was going to wait until 2 weeks but decided to have a look today. I am 7 days post op so was on the pre op diet 5 days before surgery. So on my 12th day dieting I have lost 15lbs!!! I am so happy!! What are the chances I will put this back on when I move onto solids?

Thanks

chances are pretty good that you will put some of it back on. best advice I can give you, is don't get on the scale for a while. focus on healing, learning how to navigate with the band, and generally stay away from anything that might sabotage your commitment. Good luck and welcome to the forum.

I will, thank you! Today was the first day, since I started, that I craved food. My husband asked if it was okay to eat a kebab in front of me...I thought it would be okay but man, it smelt so good! I just kept reminding myself being slim will make me a hell of a lot happier than short lived satisfaction of eating something like that.

I am so excited to be on this journey!

Thank you for the welcome!

Yes, you will have a gain after a little while. But don't fret. Stick to the program, and it will come back off. I would also advise to not weigh yourself. Wait until you go to the doctor's office. Congratulations!

I gained it all back....the pre-op and post op diet is just that...it's not real IMO, who wouldn't loose weight on shakes and liquids.< /p>

After I started back on real foods, it was back to where I was as though I never had the lap Band surgery...it was only after a few months and a few fills that the band started to do what it was supposed to do, then the REAL weight loss began...

it is a shame...but until the band starts doing it's job, it's just another diet...and I failed at every diet, that's why I needed surgery...if I could have done it myself, I would never resort to surgery.

As you should be Carrie! A pound is a pound! Be proud! Follow the diet and get your fills and it should stay off, that's what I'm planning to do. Congrats!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
