Hi peaceful. I am in no way an expert. But have a possible answer. I think that when I do pure liquids my body says- whoa big fella, what are you doing to me? It than says- you aren't giving me anything good. So it decides I dont like it anymore and am going to neglect it to death. So it gets scared and says I better hang on to every drop you put in me. Every drop of Water. Or crystal light iced tea in my case, cause without that I'd never had made it. Product placement inserted now.
Ok, that was my poor attempt at humor. But I do think thats the case. Its your body keeping everything you put in. My wife could never understand it. But I tried to explain it this way. A professional hockey goalie can lose up to ten pounds during the course of one single game due to sweating. A professional athlete. So for us it would be easy to retain that much in liquids alone after a liquid fast. Body weight has many many factors. Give it a few days and see if it doesnt settle back down.
Wishing you the best!

Thanks velmasmall. I appreciate it.

Hi. I'm new to this site myself. Only fair to leave my story. LOL. My high weight was around 340. My wife decided to do Lap band. She wanted me to as well. I was hesitant because, well I felt I could just do it myself. I couldn't. LOL. I said that I would try for one full year. Really try on my own. And if it didnt work than I'd consider it. One year later. . . . Made my first appointment with her doctor. I had my surgery Feb. of 2012. It hit me hard. The day after my wife's surgery she climbed hills in the park. The day after mine- I laid in agony like a bus ran me over followed by a truck and a few marching bands. And it wasn't getting better fast. I couldnt stomach the taste of Protein Shakes. Which was odd cause i've loved them my whole life. My luck. But over time things got better. Today I am down to 265. And in all fairness there was a six month period in between where this was put on the back burner due to some tragic family issues. But the day after Christmas I said it was time to rededicate myself. Since then I'm down over twenty pounds and going strong. Good luck to you!

I had that feeling once too. Over stuffed myself. We all have our moments. Calling your doctor is important. They are only there to help. I remember not being able to really eat for almost a month after my surgery. I didnt take to it very well.Felt like I got run over by a truck. But it got better. I'll be wishing you luck!!!!

gg, I've never felt any pain from a fill. I havent been sedated or numbed. My doc just presses down on port and injects. It's less pain than a typical flu shot or blood drawn. Good luck with it.
