I am a little concerned because i have only lost 12 pounds in 3 weeks post op, i cant wait to get my firt fill, hopefully i will loose it a little faster.

How much did you loose after first fill?

12lbs in 3 weeks is awesome and exceeds the expectations of the band!!!

Don't get frustrated, in the next few weeks before your first fill you may not lose anything and possibly will gain a few lbs as you transition to real food.

This time is for healing... it will take a couple of months atleast before you get to a sweet spot and start losing regularly. Just follow the rules, stay hydrated and eat enough food... it will come!!

Best of luck to you!!

I lost 13.2 pounds or so the first month. Looks you are losing at the same rate. Congrats on your surgery!

Congrats on being banded. Now your journey really begins. Don't worry so much about HOW much you lose right now, everyone is different and you seem to be right on track.

Don't worry so much about losing quickly. I did not seem to lose anything in the first two or three weeks after my surgery. It seemed as if I was going to stay about the same forever. Then I lost a few pounds, then a few more. Since two weeks before my surgery almost two months ago, I am down about 40 pounds. I have not had my first fill yet, but will be seeing the doctor on Thursday and expect my first fill. He is a stickler for no fills before eight weeks post-op to prevent problems. I am happy with how much I have lost so far, and feel good about my decision. I wish it would just melt away while I sleep, but that isn't going to happen. Hang in there, we can do this!:thumbup:

Before surgery I lost 16lbs then after I lost another 6lbs. So I lost all together 22lbs pre and post op. I am just waiting for my fill next month and I can't wait. I haven't lost anymore so far becuase I have cheated a lil too. I am back on track though and going grocery my pureed diet is over tomorrow yaay. Then im on soft mushy foods for the next 2 wks we'll see how I do then.

Hi,

I've lost 30 pounds the first month and have not lost a pound the last 2.5 weeks.
