I had surgery on the 2nd may. Had my first fill of 2cc. I have a 7cc band. I can eat anything that i can tolerate and i can tolerate everything . Im gaining weight and My next fill is in 2 weeks im scared my weight will creep up even more.

to gain you must take in more calories than you burn off. WLS or not...are you eating your allotted amount the dr advised you of? are you eating lean protein/veggies/fruit or eating processed/junk food? are you drinking Water??

are you exercising??

dont wait on a fill to make you lose weight, it will DEF help dont get me wrong but you must help by doing your part... hang in there.

Im breastfeeding and i feel ravenous after ive breastfed. No junk food. But i eat alot of food. Cant control my hunger. i have a huge appetite. Just windering when ill feel some restriction. And will i ever feel full with a little bit of food?

I am surprised that your Dr did the surgery knowing you were breastfeeding.....really shocked! Good luck though

Well you have to control your eating habits or you will gain and not lose. You have to have some kind of restraint with this.

While nursing an infant it requires an enormous amount of calories to keep up with the demands of your infant. I was not trying to lose weight at the time, but I did.

It is understandable that your appetite is feeling strong, and out of control. But if you are making wise and healthy food choices, and maintaining band size portions, you definitely should not be gaining weight.

I would consult with your nutritionist for some healthy meal planning insights. Your nutrition is key at this important time. The milk will get the nutrients you take in before you do. You and your infant need to be healthy.

Drinking Water and SF/FF fluids should help stave off hunger and help to keep you properly hydrated through this unique stage of parenthood...

My doctor told me when I was nursing ,you need an additional 500 cals a day , you need to talk to the doctor about what extra you need to eat but you should also be keeping track

Congratulations on your baby!!

I agree. And I also agree with Carolinagirl that "to gain you must take in more calories than you burn off. WLS or not" so it seems that you are consuming more than you are burning.

All that said, I'm not sure you should really be focused on too much weight loss when breastfeeding but that is a personal choice.

Good luck mamasita!

Be a mom first, heal second, worry about weight loss third.
