I'm not losing weight



Recommended Posts

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.36_1_34.gif 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 4_6_200v.gifabout 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.23_33_7.gif Any suggestions would be appreciated. 16_2_26.gif

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!!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
