    Weight Gain

    Thanks everyone. I increased my Water and that seems to be working for now at least. I don't like weighing myself daily, but I only do that to see how much Fluid I'm retaining. If I gain 5lbs over night, I know it's time to take my medication. I have to drink orange juice while taking my medication because I lose so much potassium. That's my doctor's and pharmacist's instructions. I know it has a lot of calories, but if I don't drink it my kidneys start hurting and my legs cramp to the point where I can't walk. I'd rather just drink those calories to avoid that kind of pain. If any of you have had a kidney or bladder infection then you know what I'm talking about. I'm probably drinking 8oz-10oz a day. I drink 2oz in the morning with the pill, and the rest is diluted. Does anyone know another way to get potassium to avoid the calories from orange juice?

    Weight Gain

    Thanks guys! Yes, I know it's Water. I just don't know how to get rid of the water weight and get back to losing fat. I can't take those water pills everyday. I'd lose my mind and my kidneys would go in shock. I'm probably over reacting because I'm so afraid of failure. I going to accept that I will stall, but it sure doesn't help me feel better.

    Weight Gain

    Hello Everyone, For the past week I've kept losing and gaining the same 3lbs. So, far I've lost about 40lbs in 6 weeks. I had surgery on 1/29/13. I haven't had my first fill yet. My start weight was 340lbs, and last week I weighed 298lbs. I was super happy. But now it's the same stupid 3lbs up and down each day. It's hard to explain, but I can lose the 3lbs in one day, but it's back the next morning. My doctor prescribed Water retention pills because I gained 10lbs in a week...all water. I lost that 10lbs in a couple of days. I have to drink orange juice and water all day, so my kidneys don't start hurting. The pain is almost unbearable when I don't drink enough fluids. I exercise an hour a day, but I might boost it up to an hour and a half. I know I'm over doing it. I just really want to get as far away from 300lbs as possible. I'm not sure if this is still water weight or, I'm doing something wrong. I'm trying not to get discouraged, but I'm getting depressed because I can't lose these 3lbs and move on. Any advice from my fellow banders would help tremendously!

    Lapband Buddy

    Hi everyone! I'm 24 years old and just had my surgery on Tuesday. I have a lot of questions, but little support in my area. It would be great to have a buddy to talk to that's my age. So far things are going well. I've lost 9 lbs since Tuesday. Is that safe? I was told 3lbs a week was normal. I don't want to over do it or get sick.
