is the average weight loss in the first month before a fill???

i have seen some tickers and they have lost almost 24 pounds is that pore and post surgery or sice the day they were banded???

i went with what i weighed at the dr. 2 days before surgery. bc when they weighed me at the hospital i was like 8 pounds less than at the dr.s 2 days before which can only be due to the 12 fast.

kansas huh!!!

ahh thanks that is very sweet

I've been doing the same as you Daisy (comparing my weight loss to those banded at around the same time I was) and feeling like I must be doing something wrong because it looked like so many others were losing so much more than I. It turns out that most list their weight loss from the time they originally looked into the band including pre-op diets so even though it may say they lost 25 lbs and were only banded 2 weeks ago, the reality may be that they were on a 3 week or longer supervised diet/liquids prior to being banded. At least that's what was explained to me and since it makes me feel better, I choose to believe it. Anyway, we are all different so we probably will have different type of losses.

thanks di i have come to the same conclusion as you!!!

it all depends on the person.. One thing is that the bigger the person the more they loose usually also men tend to loose more than women.. My ticket is from my pre op diet until now. The dr said if I need a fill I can have one in 4 weeks. I just started mushies :cursing: Yeah I love tilapia yum :scared2:
