First, it would help if you filled out your profile so we can better help you.

I think the best place to start is at the easiest things to control:

-do you count calories, if so, how much do you eat a day?

-are you sticking to a cup or less of food per meal?

-are you getting in all your Protein daily?

Missy's right. Fill out your profile.

2 lbs in one day, one month, one year?

And 2 lbs is nothing btw. We can all gain 2-5 lbs in one day if we ate too much sodium, carbs or even some medications.

I vascilate up and down 1-3 lbs every few days. It's just Water weight.

I agree I can gain 2 to 3 pounds in a day then it goes down pretty fast. I lose about one pound a week and that is really good for me. Everyone is different so listen to your body and adjust. It is a learning process for all of us, you hang in there. Post in a few days and let us know how you are doing we all care. God bless

You are only just getting your second fill so you are still quite early in your banded life. Remember, this is a life change, a marathon, not a sprint. It takes time for you to get restriction and for the band to work as you expect. Keep following your dr's advice and you will be fine.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
