7 weeks out

Hi everyone, I am 7 weeks out and have lost 45 pounds but it seems as if I have not even had this surgery. I really have no problem with foods. (except eggs)!!!! I don't eat alot but I am afraid this surgery wont work for me. I'm scared I won't lose any more weight. Has anyone else felt this way?

I am sorry that I don't have any advise.  I am totally oposite.  I am 9 weeks out and can hardly eat anything without  I am hoping this will change as time goes on.  I have gone back to having to drink 2-3 protein shakes a day just to get all my protein in for the day.  I am also working out at the gym 5 days a week, but the past two days I have felt really week and I am sure it's from not getting the proper nutrition.

Hang in there, I am sure this will get easier for both of us.  45lbs is fantastic though.

OMGOSH YES!!! I dont feel like Ive had surgery either! I can eat whatever although in much smaller portions. LOL, I even asked the nurse are you sure the doc did anything? Oh and get this I still get hungry...not head hunger real hunger pains.

My first 2 weeks I was on liquids, after that I had no problem with anything..until week 6.  Then my pouch revolted, absolutely went on strike. lol  I'm back to liquid protein for the time being.  You just never know when that pouch is going to rise up and give you a tough time! 

Congratulations on the loss so far.  Keep following your doctor's plan and you'll do great.

Holler if you need us.

For the most part, I too feel like I haven't had surgery. I haven't had any problems other than a little nausea the first day or two after surgery... I have fatigue,partly due to my medication and partly so few calories.
I am 5 weeks out and lost 38 pounds. So you are doing great.

Im really feeling discouraged now, I'm 10 weeks out and have only lost 13 lbs. My days fluctuate sometimes i can eat without getting sick, then i will eat 2 bites of something and be sick the rest of the day.  I have been watching what i eat & excersising ,  Ive already had 1 fill 4 weeks after my surgery.  All in all only down 13 lbs and wondering if the band is even working. ANYBODY go through this?
