I started mushies and my weight loss STOPPED totally. I fluctuated up about 2lbs. Soft foods...same thing. Started on solids 2 weeks later and voila! Weight started coming off again. Hang in there and don't worry.

Hi Blondie,

Weight gain/stall is very normal during these stages. Just know that this is 'temporary'. Your new stomache is healing, and so is the rest of your body. Stay on track, follow your surgeons instructions and before you know it, you will be shedding off those pounds.

Hang in there (hugs)

It happened to me too when I got off the liquids. I gained 8lbs. It's completely normal!

Don't expect to lose weight for the first 6 weeks or so. You have a lifetime to work your band. But you've got to heal first. :)

Everyone looses weight pre and post op because you are on a strict diet...it's not the band....

1 momth after my surgery, I had a 4cc fill, and after that I gained weight....I was upset to say the least....

Fortunatley I have a good Dr., and he explained to me exactly what the band is designed to do, and explained to me untill he gets it properly adjusted, the band is not doing much of anything at all....

It took me 3 fils, in about 4 months, to get to the point where the band was "activated" so to speak and began to do it's magic....

Right now, just after surgery....all one can do is good dieting techniques....and I STINK at dieting, otherwise I would not have needed surgery to loose weight...I could have done it on my own....

I read posts after posts from people who have just had surgery and are complaining that they are not loosing weight....do people actually understand how the band works???

By-pass or sleeve is instant...one minute you don't have it, the next you do.....it's there or it isn't there......

The band, once it is there, has to be adjusted to fit the individual.....that's why it is adjustable.....

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
