i had my surgery on 12/2 and at first i was doing very well...now i have not lost any weight in about 2 weeks...i am also having a problem going #2...i do not see my surgeon until 1/12 for my first fill...will the weight loss pickup once i have my band filled??? and does anyone take or recommend any sort of laxative or something for the constipation problem? i tried getting a hold of my surgeon but he is on holiday and is only taking emergency calls at this time... :tongue_smilie:

any help, advice, or info is more than appreciated!!!

True weight loss is so hard to track when you are monitoring it everyday. I find that when I am doing that it depresses me. Try once a week, this is a true indicator of the weight you are losing. Water weight, constipation and other factors are too variable to try and weigh yourself everyday.

You will find that it seems like you are not losing...then one day you get on the scale and BAM you have lost. Hang in there guys...this is not going to be a fast process. It is a slow miracle. In the meantime, enjoy every day of your life and be happy!!
