has any of you gained and then lost i heard of loss then stand still but to go up & down i had my sugery on the 5th of may lost 34 as of june 28th then up 5 then lost the five as of today but i dont get it is it me i thought droping and stand still was normal but gaining ? what a roller coaster ride im on and i wanna get off..lol

Greeting everyone, i was banded this may 5th and by god grace & mercy lost 34 as of 06-28, then gain 5 pounds after that . as of today lost the 5 but is this normal or shall i ask if anyone done this before i know the scale may stand still but go up??? wow i walk 1-2 miles 3 or 4 times a week Water down watch what i eat i just want some advice on what am i doing wrong. i started at 298 needing to loose at least 100 + pounds to loose i know its a slow changed but going up was not part of the plan.:thumbup::ohmy: 298/ 269 /170 may 5th 2008 Karen MacKenzie MD Visaila California

i was baned on the 5th of may i lost 34 but gained 5 pounds then as of today i lost the five i gained .so whats up with that? i know i can eat anything so far ( i make healthy choices) i drink plenty of water, i walk 2miles 3-4 times a week but not even the Doc can answer as to why i gained... so every ones different however i have lost inches im pretty happy about that BUT i want the scale to go down or stand still not go up am i wrong for thinking that way??? hummm. i know a lady in my area lost 40 pounds but in 2yrs has lost 8 dress sizes now go fig on that.... but that's what the doctor told me. if i lost 8 dress sizes that would take me from a 24w (now 20w) to a size 10 my goal is a 16 reg. so keep up the good work get the protien in and walk it out if nothing else.

i dont count anything my surgeon told me to eat til im full which last 4-6 hr after each meal ( 2 ) no snacks lots of water, but i feel like im missing somthing im going back to the weight center i was in before the surgery (which they help me get mine approved ) and see whats the deal

hi lovely im marie 37 i was band on the 5th of may and was loosing grest til 06-28 i gained 5 pounds this week i barely lost 3 why is this i even up my exersice leve from 1 mile to 2mile i make healthy choices i pray its muscles... well good luck and god bless every one

i feel were ya all comin from i was doing so well up til 6-28th i notice the scae went up 5 pounds i see no nutrition, my doc says that will happend but im sorry i dint get this surgery for me to gain i got it to loose i rather for it to stand still and not loose than to gain whats the deal does any one know whats up? banded 05-08-08

con grats gurlly keep us in touch with everything and i pray all gos well 4 ya

your welcome just make sure when you eat, to drink water ( 8oz 1hour before and 1 hour after) thats my secret of staying full through out the day. good luck keep in touch im gonna ween my self from the scale just weight in every 2 weeks and make healthy choices then after that weight in monthly my goal is 160- 170 what ever i reach by may 5th of next year i believe thats what i will be as long as the dress size get to a 18 reg im cool! ( be happy for beign YOU! )

i see it everywhere at 1st i didnt but too many people was telling me they see it in my face, hips all over gurl! then i got a size smaller jeans from 24w to a 20w and i be hot damn me they fit perfect not tight not loose but on my off days ( work 12 hr hospital hrs) i walk 2.5 miles i jog in place for 30 min every night drink 32oz of water small portions of food ( for me my small may be a extra large) example : 8am : 1 scram egg, 1 toast, 1glass of fat free milk 1pm : tuna salad or lean meat sandwhich, with reg mayo before each meal water hour after water, Dinner : hamburger with all the fixing no sides ( half the burger ) sometimes i eat all. but thats the truth i told the doctor if i can eat what i want im not having the surgery. i have 3ml fill. im doing fine no hungery between meals

than kyou i seen my surgeon at the hospital i work in and she told me stay off the scale every week she see me at work she can tell im loosing and looking good and stay off the scale weigh in every week is asking for depression as long as im seeing results and buy smaller cloths dont worry what the scale says

hello my name is reeda i was banded on the 5th of may 2008 did great the 1st month then bam! gain 5 pounds in week then lost 3 back 2 just up and down i have no idea what the deal is i went from 310-298-278-269-back up to 274 im not gettin on the scale im scred i might go into depression my walking went up from 30 mins to an hr from 1 mile to 2.5 miles drinking lots of water can anyone tell me whats going on my doc out of town til next monday. i hope its muscle but never heard of gaining that much in a 5 day period (( no junk))

ok sunshine thanks alot for all the advice and information have a bless day Marie, Tulare California

Hi sunshine, this may sound crazy but what is a 0 cal food?? that way if i do get hungry after i get home from work @7-730 pm like gello? broth?

good question .i was band on the 5th of may this yr and was loosing great til last week i gained . the doc says its muscle she can see the inches lost from just two weeks ago but like others i wanna see the pounds go down or stand still not go up. this is all a learing and new experiance for us all and we just got to keep doing what we no best. return for clear for 5 days the full 5days this what a person told me she did when her body froze on the weight lost now she reached her goal plus an extra 10 pounds lost.

i bet if we look at the web pages 2-5 yrs from now we are going to see many other new bands just place the choice in the surgeons hands he/she done enough to know whats best for you good luck!

my port is doing fine now my doc said it could be due to the walking and exercise but she pressed and moved around the area no tenderness nor pain so im fine, thanks

im ya twin missy..lol congrats' on the lost keep up the good work and keep us formed

thank you so mucH! but what can i eat every 3-4 hours with out over doing the cal & fat ? the doc said if not hungry dont eat and no snacking ,geeez us im burnt at the brain. but thanks you was a big help
