I'm not losing weight

[Alicia99 0]

I was banded on April 15,2008 and lost 15 lbs when I went in for my post-op check and I have gained the weight back. I am so mad at myself. I get my first fill on May 28, 2008 and then hopefully I will lose the weight.

Chilly,

I am with you! Just after surgery lost a few, and now gained them all back. I feel hungry all the time, just like before. I just want to eat eat eat at my desk. Fill is 5/31...hang in here with me, we WILL lose after the fill.

Hugs.

my daughter had her band put on Feb 8th 2008 and her 1st fill april 12 th. her 1st fill has made her band too tight now. she can't eat more than 2 bites of anything without feeling discomfort in her stomach. she was filled with the minimum 2 ccs of saline. i can say she has lost 32 pounds since her fill.

I was banded April 23, 2008. I lost 23 lbs from the beginning of the program to 1 week after surgery, then, nothing....My doctor told me that I might even gain during the healing time. But, I guess I have to have faith...Nothing has come off for about 3 1/2 weeks. THis is normal, right. It will change, right!! I need reassurement...

It's okay sweetie! Yes, your gonna start losing again. I think our bodies just need some time to catch up with the changes.

I hit a wall too, but I figured it was more important to have nutrition to encourage all the healing than to lose weight. I just got my first fill and the scale is starting to move again.

Hang in there. It's gonna be okay! PM if you'd like!

I'm 4wks post-op and I've lost 14lbs. Although the last 3 days I haven't lost an oz. I'm sticking to the three meals a day and try to stay at 4oz, sometimes I may go over by 1-2 oz's. I don't get my first fill until 6/9 ,hope the weight starts coming off again. The only thing I worry about is that I'm going on a trip 9days after my fill for a few weeks so I hope I can adjust to the fill within those 9 days. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm really glad I read this. I got banded on April 29th and lost 15 pounds the first 10 days. Now I haven't lost anything. I don't get my first fill until June 2. I must admit I have been freaking out too. Thanks all!!!!
