I was banded on 6/11/12, I immediately started seeing results and lost 13 in the first 3 weeks, but over the course of the last week I have very slowly started to gain some lbs back, its only 3 or 4, but I am now paranoid that I am doing something wrong. Is it normal to go up and down like this?

Track you calaries on my fitness pal. It keeps you honest on the food and exercise.

I have never gained since my surgery. It will.be a year on July 11th. I was very strict I wanted to get the weight off. I filled in with crystal light I lost 75 in 7 months. I'm increasing activity because I need to loose 30 more. Good luck

if you are going through the various food stages: from liquids to pureed to mushies to soft..you can expect to gain a little..if you have been on liquids before your surgery and after your body is kinda in shock. so as soon as you introduce something other than liquids your body is gonna be confused. dont be alarmed perfectly normal.

Main thing is don't get discouraged. You've done the hard part and it's not like flipping a light swtch to change a life style. Just follow the Dr's instructions and you will soon be teling us how great you are doing. Hugs and best wishes.
