Thanks for all of the replies and encouraging words. As for the scale, I bought it just a couple months ago and it was pretty pricey. So I don't think it's the scale. I gonna really push my Water and go buy the stool softener my doc recommended. I am vowing not to step on the scale until next Friday. Please hold me to it!

So I had my third fill 06/02. I had been frustrated because the weight loss had been so slow. Then on Saturday I get on the scale and I am down ten pounds!!!! Finally some progress. Well today I hopped on the scale because we will be out of town tomorrow and guess what? I am up ten pounds. What the heck is that all about? I haven't changed any thing. Has this happened to any one else? I haven't had a BM since Sunday, but I can't image that there is 10 lbs of pooh in me. Any one have any ideas?

So I was banded 03/18. By April I had lost 22lbs. I am happy about that loss but I haven't lost any weight since then. I have had two fills and have 3cc in my 10cc band. I have been using fit day to track my food and I am around 1200 calories a day which include 90-100 grams of protein a day. I have just recently started walking about 20 mins. a day. What am I doing wrong? The only thing I can think of is cutting out all sugar. Has anyone else had to do that to loose properly? Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

I have been struggling with the water thing. I hit it hard yesterday and got 56oz in. Today I'm gonna get 64!

Nice to see activity in the 30's area. I am just 5 weeks out from surgery. Lost 20lbs so far. Loss has slowed down but I am working at it. Good luck to everyone!

I would have to say my favorite area is my waist, for now. That's were the weight is coming off fastest and most noticeably. I absolutely hate my legs. I have my dad's legs and have always carried a lot of weight there. I have always been able to leg press more weight that my DH. I can't wait to see those puppies actually look like a ladies legs!:thumbs_down:

My first fill was 04/14. They put in 4.5ccs but I couldn't even get 2 sips of Water down before I left the office. So they had to un-fill me; three times before I left, two hour later!!!!:thumbs_down: They left 2ccs. I have major restriction and no appetite. I am wondering if I am eating enough. I do get three Protein shakes a day for a total of 90 grams of protein, but I have been gaining and losing the same three pounds for a couple weeks now.

:confused2: So my next question is I wonder why all my surgeons patients have to take sooo much when it looks as though many of you don't have to take that much.

Neveragain, I am taking 2 multivatims a day with everything else.

I have my blood pressure medication that I take every 12 hours but yes the rest are vitamins. 2 Multivitamins, 1 calcium, 1 zinc, 1 E, 1 D, 2 iron, 2 C, 1 B-12, 1 B-complex and 2 chromium.

This is where I purchased mine. It took about three weeks. I love it. Medical ID Bracelets, stylish bracelets to alert the medics in an emergency, free engraving - Medi-Charm Bracelets

So my doctor has me on a boat load of vitamins and minerals. I take about 8 pills every 12 hours. I have been able to swallow them up until my first fill on Monday. I was just wondering what vitamin regimen does your doctor have you on? Please list the names amount that you have to take daily and if you've been able to find then in liquid form or chew-able. I am having to crush mine and I have it. Thanks!

Good to know. Crushing my pills and trying to put them in something tasted soooo bad. Glad to know that I may be able to continue swallowing them.

How many of you out there crush all pills that you take vs. swallowing them? I have found that I can swallow them - no problem, but will that change with my first fill?
