Good morning to everyone, I am new to this site..I had the lapband procedure performed on August 26, 2010, at Brand Surgical Institute in Glendale, CA..

I was down 31 pounds last week and I weighed in this morning and gained 2 pounds . I am so devastated, can someone please help me understand as to why I gained instead of loosing. I go for my first fill on October 11, 2010..

Thank you,

Mirella

Chances are, it's just Fluid retention. Weight can fluctuate by a few pounds normally--so it's probably pretty meaningless.

Your loss so far is great! It gets much better as you work toward restriction

Don't let it bother you I do the same thing myself. I can walk everyday and eat great and then weigh and I will have gained some weight. But if you just keep at it you will see the weight fall off.

I gained 7 pounds between my surgery date and my first fill!!! My surgeon is a little different from some in that he doesn't keep you on liquids and mushies for weeks after getting the band. By the end of the second week you are introducing solid foods. And my time between the band and my first fill included Christmas!!! So don't get discouraged!!! I'm down 75 pounds as of this week and I had my band date was 11/09.......
