If you have already been banded in July, have you lost any weight? It seems to come off slower now than it did before surgery!!! I have lost 2 lbs since surgery last Wednesday and really thought it would have been more with the amount I am actually able to drink!! I am probably being over zealous...but who knows!!

I was banded on July 13th and have lost 10 pounds. Glad to hear I'am not the only one thinking I should have lost more. This is a new way of life and we are still learning.

Am I reading this right, you were banded last Sunday and upset about only being down 10 lbs. I was banded the 9th, and finally last night dropped to being down 4 lbs. What's wrong with me? :frown:

I have no restriction and have felt since I woke up from surgery I could eat anything.

I am now down 6 lbs since surgery...but I did lose 17 before surgery on July 9th My doc is impressed with my loss thus far. I have lost 19% of my excess body weight

From reading her signature, it looks like she was banded on May 13th, not July 13th.

On another note: I am down another pound this morning and still no hunger. Yippie!

and 4 weeks to a fill. My goal is not to gain any these next 4 weeks. I'll use a measuring cup and eat on my plan. Oh, and get at least 30 minutes of walking or exercise every day.
