26 days post-op and not losing...

[shelley2b 0]

We're all in the same boat - I was banded on the 19th Dec - I lost about 16lbs pre-surgery and then lost 7 afterwards.... then nothing - for about a week - all the way through the full liquid phase. I'm finally now on my pureed food stage, and things seem to have started moving again. I've lost 2 lbs in the last couple of days.

I think it's helping that I'm walking every single day - I'm up to about 3 miles. I think as soon as I'm on the real food, it will get even better so that I can fill up on lettuce and stuff.

Anyways - good luck to everyone on this... I think the more we watch what we eat and exercise - we'll do well.

True weight loss is so hard to track when you are monitoring it everyday. I find that when I am doing that it depresses me. Try once a week, this is a true indicator of the weight you are losing. Water weight, Constipation and other factors are too variable to try and weigh yourself everyday.

You will find that it seems like you are not losing...then one day you get on the scale and BAM you have lost. Hang in there guys...this is not going to be a fast process. It is a slow miracle. In the meantime, enjoy every day of your life and be happy!!
