2 weeks post op

Hey everyone!  My name is Stacy and I'm from around the Chattanooga Area.  I had my band done on August 18 by Dr. Stephen Boyce out of Knoxville. I am now 2 weeks and 1 day post op and 13 pounds lighter (as of today).  I didn't have a preop diet so the 13 pounds is since the day I went in for surgery.  I see peop that had the surgery the same day or close to when i did and they have lost more weight than I have and that really depresses me.  I know everyone loses at a different rate and speed, but I want to lose more than what I have lost.  Does anyone know if the weight these other people have lost is since their surgery or does it include their preop diet also?

Hi Stacy. you are doing fantastic. I was banded on August 19th. My weight tracker is from the day I had surgery.Stay focused and you will do wonderful

I had my surgery August 7, 2008 and I had a pre op liquid diet and so far I had lost 25 pounds, however I had a complication with some foods I ate and now I am back on the liquid diet, but I think is better to loose the weight slowly. You are doing great. Good luck.

I lost 12 pounds in the first 9 days after surgery.  But just remember everyone loses at a different rate.  Don't dwell on the scales.  I try not to weigh daily but every 2 or 3 days.  If not i would obsess over it.  Just be happy in the fact that you are losing and take inspiration from that.  Best of luck!
