Pre op

[strawberrylooker]

Hello. Ive stumbled accross this site and it looks amazing, and I could really use some advice.
I've started my pre surgery 2 weeks diet, I'm having a band fitted and I was wondering what sort of weight loss have other "banders" experienced in a 6 months period?

I was banded on 16th Feb and have lost 3 stone. I am strict about food, still learning how to slow it all down, not easy.......I have started exercising and even when weight loss is slow I am shrinking width wise

Wow 3 stone in less than 3 months that's amazing! Well done.

That's including the weight lost on the pre op diet by the way...

Ahh I'm in the first day of the pre op diet. I've got 8 stone to lose so I'd be very happy with 4 stone in 3 months. How long did it take you to recover from your operation?

Hi

I'm day one of pre-op diet too (milk)

I get banded on 25th May, starting weight is 18st 7lbs and I too have at least 8st to loose xx

I recovered fairly well but had a post op complication (not much to do with actual band, could have happened after any op) that put me back. Had booked a week's leave from work and I think, if everything had gone as it should, that would have been ok. I got tired, but having a GA and having to stick to liquids for a couple of weeks it wasn't surprising
