Hi

I was just wondering how many of you gained weight before your first fill. I was banded in mid Apr and lost consistently until I started solids (and I was still very careful in what I ate AND have been exercising). I've noticed that I've gained 3-4 lbs in the last week!!!!! WTF!!!! I go for my first fill next week. I've heard this can happen but I'm just curious as to how many folks it has happened to. I'm trying not to beat myself up or get discourgaged by it but it is difficult!!

Me, Me!!!

I have gained and lost the same 5 lbs. for weeks now. I weighed 217.5 to start, lost to 212 before surgery, then down to 200.5....back up to 206......down to 203......you get the picture. I have yet to go below 200 and it's killing me. I had my 1st fill last week, but so far it hasn't done much good. I don't go back for 2nd fill until July.....ugh!

I did not get a fill for a full 8 weeks. During that time I managed to maintain my loss but did not lose any additional weight. So far, the fill I got last Thursday has not resulted in any restriction.

before my first fill, I was at the same weight for a week. Now that I have my first fill, I went up 6 lbs. I don't know what I can be doing wrong, I still drink my shakes and i walk every other day for about an hour.:thumbdown:
