i have lost 8 lbs in one week, so i just want to get an idea!

I lost 17 pounds in the first week and thought I was going to faint when the nurse told me. I have NEVER, NEVER lost that much weight in one month, much less a week!!

Weight has slowed down now but hope it will pick up as I exercise more.

You are doing good. Don't measure your loss by others. Everyone is different. My friend lost 28 pounds in one week.

Count me in for 16 but I didn't have to do but a day pre op liquid diet so I think that might have something do to with it.

I went back and looked at my ticker data and I lost between 7-8 pounds in the first week.

Keep up the good work everyone!

Today is my week out and I've lost 11 lbs! I'm very happy about that, starving, but happy! I know it won't always be like this, so I'm enjoying it while I can~

Congrats on your weight loss!

I just got banded on Monday and I have lost about 9 pounds. The first few days after my surgery I didn't lose much - I think it was because of the liquids they pump you with in the hospital. I have heard a lot of people don't lose anything that first week, whether it is because of the liquids or the medicine or whatever. Even if you lose a little amount of weight the first week, it doesn't mean the band will be unsuccessful for you.

I lost 9 1/2 the first week and only 1 the second. I just finished my third and have lost 2 1/2 more for a total of 13. I am amazed so far. I know it is mostly water, but so what? I don't have to lay down on the bed to fasten my jeans!! LOL Good job on your first week!!!

I only lost about 7 lbs but I'm so happy! I don't think I have ever lost that much in a week.

i was just banded exactly one week ago and i have lost 8.2 lbs.

I lost about 8 lbs. But, not a pound since (I am on mushies). This is totally normal according to everything I have read here, and what my nutritionist said. YOU ARE HEALING! And I keep hearing, dont worry about losing weight, give your body time to heal. Remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint!

Im not sure how much after week one but at 3.5 weeks Ive lost 23 pounds. :thumbup:

hello its been a week and i lost 11 pounds since banding and around 20 for the 2 week preop diet .. so far so good.

Me 15.5lbs first week!

I was banded yesterday....how many days did you stay on clear liquid only and then move on to a protein shake?

My doc wanted clear liquids for two or three days. I tried to drink V8 on the second night and it did not go down well. I continued with clear for one more day, and then started the full liquids. They were fine. I was on full liquids for two weeks, then mushy for two more. Best of luck!!!!
