Don't weigh yourself! Weight loss can be measured in other ways like inches, how your clothes fit etc. also, you only lose about 1-2 lbs a week. Sometimes you'll gain a pound or trip just because of Water retention. Throw the scale in the closet and don't focus on the number.Good luck on your journey and try not to become too frustrated!

I was banded 08/29. I have only lost 17 pounds (I last was weighed when I went for my first fill) However, when I look in the mirror, I can SEE that I'm losing inches and my clothes fit better. I just wish I could be losing pounds as fast as I am losing inches

I'm sorry to ask so many personal questions but I'm just really curious. I'm 4 days post op and my boyfriend and I have our one year anniversary in 19 days and I was wondering: How long did you ladies wait before you had sex? Is 3 weeks is enough time? Is Did it hurt? What positions did you find the most comfortable?

This morning I woke with a tiny bit of annoying shoulder pain but only because I slept wrong. Today I am able to lay on my side and my tummy without any gas pain at all!! I coughed this morning and it wasn't very bad and I'm able to laugh without a pillow over my stomach/port area. I am walking faster and feel great! These may seem little but they are HUGE to me. :-)

And I am down 17 lbs! Tomorrow I get to stay eating soft food including: soft eggs, tuna, Pasta and CEREAL!! This feeling is absolutely amazing :-)

I took gas x for the first time today and I feel amazing!

And I feel amazing!! But I'm almost worried that I feel so great do soon after surgery. I see that others are still struggling at this point and I feel like there is something wrong with me. Yeah I'm not 100% but I'd say I'm in the 90 percent. Gah

So I have always had a problem with bowel movements. I get constipated really really easily. I haven't had a bowl movement since before my surgery. (I am 5 days post op) Is it okay to take some stool softeners/laxatives? If so, how many should I take? Before surgery I would have to take up to 7 capsules to even budge a little bit. I'm really scared to take too many.

I just had some strawberry Jello and I made it through the cup without freaking out! So happy right now. Later I'm going to have done Greek yogurt.

I have been waiting for years to finally start this journey and I am so excited! Yesterday I was in alot of pain, today it's mainly discomfort. Before my pre op diet I was 243, yesterday at the hospital I weighed in at 229! So far so good!
