I have been BARELY eating, having tea, sugar free popsicles && fat free soups...I thought I woul have dropped like 10lbs in the past few days bc there has been NOTHING in my sysstem! Can someone help explain to me whats going on!!:redface:

Hi, I was banded on the 8th too. i haven't gained but i haven't lost either. i think you can be still swollen from the gas during surgery. you have to give it some time - how is everything else going for you? are you on mushies yet? today was my first day on mushies and boy did it taste good to have some solid food in my mouth. what do you plan to eat in this stage? lets keep in touch.. my email is mrsyellis@gmail.com

Thanks for the response! YES mushy food has been AMAZING let me tell you :redface: Here is what my normal day with food has been

2-4 cups of tea with Sugar free French vanilla

1-2 cups of fat free tomato soup or brocolli & chesse

3-5 Sugar free edys popscicles

1-2 Sugar free jello

Water

And the other day i had soem mashed potatoes n gravy && I was LOVIN life lol!

I had the same thing happen! It's the IV fluids they gave you. My husband is a doctor , anesthetist, and he told me they gave me 4 bags of IV. That equals out to be about 9 lbs. Yup, I gained 9 lbs. I lost it within a week! Hang in there! I was so upset, but when my hubby explained, it made sense. You will do fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great thanks so much :thumbup: Cant wait for the weight to melt off!!! Ive been eating close to nothing bc I am just not hungry at all! Which is okay with me :yikes:

Today I had

Sugar free popsicle

fat free broclloi chesse soup

n some fresh chilli my man made
