I have lost 7lbs in 4 days.



Recommended Posts

I had a fill this past Thursday, I have already lost 7lbs. My concern is could my band be too tight. I can barely eat anything, I have a total of 9cc in my 11cc realize band. I'm getting sick a lot through the day.

Double check what you are eating first......

It is a fine line...a perfect balance between having the perfect amount of restriction and the foods you eat, along with how you are eating....

Also, many people have told me, after that last fill, it took as much as 2 weeks fir things to settle down....after a fill, especially when you are near full restrcition, you ashould be on liquids for a day or 2, then slowly move to mushies, etc.....an irriated band will always be irritated untill you give it a rest.....as after a fill....

My last fill, which was 20 months ago, took me about a month untill everything settled down...I called my Dr. after 2 weeks, and was advised, and reminded, about the liquids and soft foods at first....

Many people immediatley jump and get a un-fill, and feel better...but did they miss out on the optimal band setting??? Who knows for sure.....

I lost 6lbs in 3 days from being too tight. Water felt like it was getting stuck and I had heartburn. I had 1cc taken out and they told me I would gain the lbs back bc it was most likely water weight but it all stayed off

Hey guys! I went to see my Dr. And he did a 1/2 cc defill and I feel so much better. I could tell right away after I drank Water after defill. I so far have kept those pounds off :) and excited to see how much I will lose the rest of this month! My husband is deployed currently and I can't wait to show him the new me when he returns!

I was having the same issues. I went in 2 weeks ago and had 0.5 put in and it was way too tight. As soon as she put the needle in my port she said "Oh yeah, you are too tight, the Fluid is coming out on its own." So she took out 0.25 and i feel SO much better! I am at 6.7 in a 10 band,

This is me. It takes at least two weeks for things to settle down and give me a real feel for what level of restriction I have.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
