I am seriously a newbie and I just started mushies- I didn't think I was eating a lot but upon review- I had 3 peppermint mochas in the past 3 days- ridiculous, I had dressing, green bean casserole, mashed potaotes, gravy, cranberry sauce, turkey, chocolate pie, hominy casserole- duh why wouldn't I gain 3 lbs-lol. Carrying on...

Yeah... That'll probably do it. Amazing what kind of damage you can do on mushies, huh? You'll get back on track.

Mmmm... Peppermint mochas...

Try tracking your food intake with a food diary or something like myfitnesspal. It makes such a difference when you account for all you put in your mouth. Oh...and yeah, peppermint mochas sound absolutely delish...LOL.

to gain a pound, you have to eat/drink 3500 calories..

As of yesterday morning, I didn't gain anything. I was afraid to look, but the scale was in the same place as it was before Thanksgiving. I was SO relieved!!

Just goes to show……we can enjoy a holiDay. But when a holiDay becomes a holiWeek - Month or Year, we get into in deep doo doo. But I've been on the treadmill and walking these hills ever since Thursday, and will continue to do so. I got off track with my exercise about 2.5 weeks ago. But now I feel SO much better doing it

No gain for me! Worked out hard, ate well and enjoyed a little wine too.

No gain. I maintained on 4oz turkey, lots of veggies, 4 tablespoons gravy/mashed potatoes and 1 small dinner roll.

it must be something else going on weird. I know I did not have an additional 10,500 calories in 3 mochas and 1 meal. Two days though I have been weighing the same and it's not my period... Strange

Hi there, the post-band pre-fill time can be difficult appetite-wise -- many people gain a little during this time. Your body is healing up from the surgery and then when you're able to get fills and find the right place your band can go to work....

I went a little overboard thanksgiving or so I thought.... but to my surprise I maintained my weight!!

i am nervous, i go tomorrow for weigh in. and another fill. i have decided i want another 1/2 cc to see if i can be more satisfied after meals. will post whether i lost or not. this has been a rough month with my mother passing and getting pneumonia and thanksgiving. but i am back on track and exercising again without going into a coughing jag.

Terry - so sorry to hear about your mom. That alone, is very difficult to deal with. Glad to hear that you're back on track. It's hard sometimes, but once you're back in the swing, things feel so much better.

I was shocked that the scale stayed the same. HAPPILY shocked

Condolences on the loss of your mother Terry.

No weight gain. Enjoyed good Turkey and couple bites of pumpkin pie with rediwhip - yum! Actually lost a pound. Was off work from last Wednesday thru Sunday and was able to walk 3-4 miles each day except Saturday. Now to get thru December!

No change for me either....just another day in the life with the Band...controlling my hunger and ability to overeat.......I have been gaining and loosing within the same 5 lbs for 2 years now....up 2 lbs today, down 3 tomorrow, etc, etc, etc.....as long as I stay within that 5 lbs, I'm good.....
