Since the pre and post op diets i have been losing weight ... i've only had the band for a month and last week moved onto mushy food.

I have lost about 2lbs per week....this week i don't seem to have lost anything

I know i don't get that full feeling as much anymore, Soups etc don't seem to satisfy much either ...

I guess its because things have healed and settled down but i am a little disappointed.

Work may also have been a factor, this last week i have been assigned to a very stressfull project and have been working 13hours straight all week including yesterday and today so walking has been out the window.

Just wanted a bit of a moan ... you all know how it is i'm sure.

Thanks

Jamie

Hi Jamie,

Yep, we all know the feeling

Pretty soon you'll be ready to go for a fill and I'm sure that will help. I agree, it sucks

Hang in there :scared:

Jamie -

I noticed that when I switched to pureed food (real food though), I gained a little, then when I went to regular foods I gained a little more. Before long though I was back to losing. I thought maybe it was just an adjustment period for your body getting the shock of real food again?? Who knows?? But this did happen to me, too.

Jack I would swear from your responses that you have a doctorate degree or a degree in psychology. How did one man get so smart? You give some great answers with some great compassion...both of which are strange for a man :scared: You also make a lot of sense, something most men don't do.

Jack,

Thank You for your response! I was wondering what the heck was going on...I've stalled..I started at 225 on 2/2/06 (day of surgery)and today 2/26/06 202...I started with a bang but now I can't seem to break the 200 mark.I keep up-ing my Protein and I do not have over 400 cal.a day.I'm starting to get discouraged. What you have stated makes sense..Thank You!!!

I am right there with you all!

I am down 14 lbs. since my surgery on 2/9/06. But I haven't lost anything in a week. I am still on liquids.

I go for post op today.
