2 weeks, little loss

Hi Karen, I'm so glad you posted this...I have been feeling the same way, not at all satisfied with my progress so far. I'm three weeks out today and have lost 16 pounds. All of us seem to be experiencing the same thing so it must be remotely normal. I'm so glad to hear from all of you and I really thought the link to the article on hibernation was great. Let's all take a big collective deep breath and try to relax about the slow start. We are NOT the only people for whom this surgery will not work. Let's dedicate ourselves to following our rules and encouraging eachother so that we stay positive and upbeat. I'm going to try not to weigh every day, that seems to make me feel worse when I don't see it move in the right direction and stay focused on doing what I'm supposed to do. We will make it!!!!!!

Hey Karen: I gained 7lbs in the hospital and so far almost at 4 weeks - I've lost 15lbs. For us LapBand patients it is going to take longer. Just hang in there. You just took this huge leap where it's going to change your life forever - just think in a year all the weight that you'll have lost! That's all I keep thinking about! All the best to everyone! Gina
