Shay28 reacted to Fakegrandmother in No pounds but see the difference
I have a pair of jeans I try on once a week...Saturday morning. They are my benchmark to how I am doing on this journey.

I tend to retain Water, then once the cycle is over I pee like crazy and my weight goes right back down. I could gain as much as 4 lbs of water. This doesn't happen every month though.

It could be that or you could just be gaining muscle weight.

A lot of women tend to get bloated when they have their period and they retain Fluid so they put on weight.

Shay28 got a reaction from japiatti in What are the symtoms of band slippage or ripped stitches
I am about 3 weeks post op to and I feel the same exact way about my band slipping. I think it's my nerves more than anything because I know I have done some wrongful eating lately but not overeating because I get that stuck feeling so I can't over eat. However, I lost 15lbs so far and I just read on here today that was motivation for me "listen to your body and not your brain" I am not hungry as much as my mouth and brain tells me because my stomach is not growling. Good luck. We come to far to mess up now. Stay focus

Shay28 reacted to ♕ajtexas♕ in still getting hungry....
I want to eat when I'm bored. So, if I think I'm hungry I'll find something to do. I'll go for a walk, do some crafts, get online, anything to stay busy. The other thing I do is have a drink if Water, that often stops the hunger.
Hope this helps.

Shay28 reacted to Kime-lou in No hunger pains, but really want food
Ask my husband, I was a basket case. I felt like as soon as I started eating again everything I had lost would come right back. I was starving 5 days or so out and I was evil. I was scared to eat, even though I had been cleared to have mushies. I layed in my husband lap and cried, so scared that I was going to fail. My husband kept telling me that if I gave up I would fail, but just follow the directions the doctor gave me and that was all I could do.
I have been banded almost 9 months. Total weight lost 52 lbs (currently at 192). I haven't really gained even through the holidays. I weight daily and I will bounce for a week or 4 weeks within a 4 lbs range and then drop, then bounce, then drop. My doctor says this is normal. Yeah, I wish I was losing more and quicker, but I'm not, but I am losing and the inchs are coming off. Rather than wearing a 20 pant, I wear 14's. Rather than a 1 or 2X shirt I am in large. So I guess it did work.
