How much weight should I expect to lose 2.5mths post op?

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

Was banded on 12th Oct by Dr Oliver Florica at Hawkesbury Private (he does most

of his patients at the SAN). I have fill no. 3 next week and have only lost 6 -

8kg so far (incl. going to the gym 4 x a week). I feel that is too slow. Doc

was pleased though after last visit 4 weeks ago. Took a month to recover (needed

3 weeks off work as also had hernia repairs so pain was soooo much worse than

expected).

I am surprised how much I can still eat - although since last fill I have

experienced the PB thing (the worst one was with grilled fish at a restaurant -

completely ruined my night and a huge waste of an expensive meal as I'd only had

a few bites of fish). Struggling with what food to eat for lunch at work as I

can't tolerate bread at all. Not eating much fruit (I was never a big fruit

eater) and finding salad hard to digest. Being a previous food lover I am

finding no pleasure in food at all which I suppose is the idea but has killed my

social life.

Am I slower than average with the weight loss? Thought it would be easier than

it has been.

Thanks fellow banders.... Ness
