WHY DID I ONLY LOSE 3 POUNDS IN TWO WEEKS ON MY 2ND FOLLOW UP???!!!

Hello all, Is there anyone who has had thier surgery on or around September 7th 2007? I'm asking because I had my 2nd follow up and I've only lost 3 pounds in 2 weeks!... I was somewhat depressed about that. I lost 12lbs the first two weeks after surgery and 3 pounds the next two weeks???? I have lost a total of 15 pounds in almost one month. My doctor said it was normal but I wanted to here from other banners who has had surgery within the last month. Can someone please tell me how much they lost in the first month after Lapband surgery?

Tressia, I too had a very slow start.I lost 25 lbs in two weeks, started on solid foods and in another week gained back 10 lbs that Id lost!! Then after my first fill I only lost 7 more lbs,I have had my third fill now and I changed my diet from low fat,to low carb-high protein (which is what we are suppose to do anyhow) and Im happy to say that now Ive lost a total of 40lbs since June 4th. It is slower for some of us,but DONT give up or give in!! You will lose! A good friend of mine who had to band too told me her doc said the worse thing you can do is compare yourself to other banders,for every person is just that- and individual with a different body. SO with that said,dont fret,you will get the weight off! My best wishes Thursann Hensley

Thanks Thursann for your response. You made me feel so much better and gave me hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel! Tressia Dennis

hang in there it will get better
