Boy, this advice couldn't have come at a better time for me. I've been struggling mightily. You've eased my mind, now I'm refocusing.

Thanks

Bump.. :bump: :bump: :bump:

Leatha, what does it mean write a post that just says: "bump. bump, bump"? I know it has o do with re-posting something that ws good an applicable again, but can you explain specifically what yours mean?

thanks!

Exactly that. I am merely placing a reply on an old post in order to bring it up to the top again so that new people can view it.

There are certain questions that come up again and again and with each new wave of new members, some discussions come up over and over. So, when I see posts that refer to this topic, I might often 'bump' it up again, so that the newest members can possibly use it. Make sense?

I have also heard that if you dont get in enough calories that your body goes thru a starvation period and stores everything that it can...I went thru this the last several weeks before my first fill too...The scale wouldnt move no matter what I did...I thought I was doomed from the very beginning and was very depressed until I had this explained to me

Yes, thanks for the reminder. I am in this mode right now.....but I will drink water til I ooze and one of these days some weight will drop off.

I had a problem in the beginning of not losing, and I had gained muscle, so just because you're not losing, you MAY be gaining much needed muscle.

Of course, now a year later...hmmmmmm.

wow, thank you so much for posting this! i was banded 10/9 and my first fill isnt until next Monday. i am eating more than i think i should and even then am SO hungry.

thank you!!

Love the repost. It reminds me again as to why I am doing this and to be patient with the fills and weight loss. I'm losing a lb a week and so far its better than gaining. Thanks again.
