I am two weeks out and lost 13 pounds in 10 days and now all the sudden I have gained 2.5 pounds....has this happened to anyone else? I am still eating blended foods. It is so discouraging when you arehardly eating anything and you see a gain of any kind. HELP....scared this lap band surgery wont work for me....:rolleyes2:

Thanks!

Yes...I lost almost 70...gained back 15...now I am back on track, I found my sweetspot and will lose it again I am sure. There will always be ups and downs but the downs with the band far outway them without it.

Very common to gain a couple pounds once you get off the liquid diet or go back to eating more a couple weeks after surgery. Look at the thread about How the LapBand Works under the Fills forum to see what is happening to your body.

Yep, look at many of my older posts... I lost 12 pounds and gained upto 3 pounds. I then played yoyo with those pounds for about 3 weeks then it was gone and has stayed gone. Just be patient and stay the course. You won't regret it!

thanks for that....I feel better that someone else lost and then gained.....

There's nothing more demeaning than having to change your Ticker UPWARDS!! I wish I had a nickel for every time I've had to change mine back upward! Gr-r-r-r-r-r! :rolleyes2:

I refuse to change my ticker when I bounce up 1-3lbs. Somehow I always bounce back down to ticker weight in 1-2 days. I refuse to get discouraged hah!

I agree! Unless I'm truly gaining I am not moving my ticker upward. I know that those fluctuations are only temporary because I am staying the course and eating well and exercising.

This is quite common. Lose, gain. When you start getting fills it will help.

Last Thursday I was sick as a dog. On Friday I weighed 267. I was like...cooool. Then over the weekend I jumped back up to 268-269...then yesterday was 270!!!!!!!!!! I was not happy. This morning...270!!!!!! I am eating right AND exercising!!! I know its temporary but to go up SUCKS!!!!!!!

I keep bouncing the same 3 lbs back and forth. I am okay during the week as I am on the computer all day working. I am sure to always have my bottle of water next to me and I drink it all day long (usually a minimun of 4 bottles a day). Then the weekends come and I am house cleaning, shopping and chasing my little boys around. I don't drink enough water during the weekend and on Monday I am up 3 lbs! By Wednesday I am back down 3 lbs. I just can't get below the 170 mark. My body seems to love 171.4! I have only had one fill and I am running on will power. Hopefully it will get easier with my next fill. I can't wait to see 169!!!! It sounds like this is normal so I am not concerned, the weight will come off. Slow weight loss is better than rapid weight loss. I am trying to avoid a TT anyway. Good luck to all!
