Oh gosh! My not having an appetite is sooooo over! This thing came back with a vengence!!!! I'm soooo upset. I know this may sound ridiculous but i am obsessed with the scale. I went for my 1 week check up on friday and i weight 227, i started mushies on friday and this morning (sunday) i weight 229! WTH!!!!!!!!!!!! i am totally freaking out. I'm trying to figure out what the hell happened. I have feared that once i started eating food i would gain weight! is this normal!!! somebody please tell me this is normal and will not continue. i emailed my dietician, cuz i need some help planning these mushy meals. i have been living on mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, refried beans and tuna. I know my portions have been more like 4 ounces but i havent added veggies yet cuz i dont know what pureed veggies would be tasty. I do not want to blow this....i've been doing good so far and now i feel like i'm failing. I just wish i could have a fill so i could have restriction now! plus i know i have slacked on my liquids. i was so glad to have real food that the liquids kind of took a back burner.

 

 

 

did anyone else gain weight once they started eating foods before they got their first fill?:(

Wow you are on mushies already. I think we have to remember we are not to focus on losing weight now but get used to our band. You are probably retaining alot of fluids and gas still and your weight wont move down. You will lose weight. Just focus on doing what you need to, to heal. Water, rest and fluids. Have you started supplements? Your body might be holding on to the weight for dear life thinking you are in famine mode ohmy.gif

Jenn,

I feel your pain, but what Miss Mary said is 100%. Since you're obsessed with the scale (like I am :-) you should get a tanita scale that measures your fat, water, and bone density; this way you can see where the weight gain is (and weight loss for that matter). It will give you a peace of mind, because our bodies will hold on to water, especially when there is a drastic change. Even exercise can make you retain sometimes. Drink plenty of water to flush out the water and you'll be fine (physically and mentally :P

But I do feel ya on the appetite, I have been sooooooo hungry and NOT for a damn protein drink either, I want to CHEW!

thanks guys. i posted in another forum and was assured what i wass feeling was normal. i have decided to put my scale in the basement in a rubbermaid contianer so i cant have easy access to it every morning. i'm not gonna lie..i snuck and jumped on it when my overnight guest(who told me to stay off the scale) was in the bathroom and it's starting to go back down..some ounces, but it didnt go up!!!! i am pushing my liquids more and i am starting back in the gym tomorrow, so i wont be on the scale again until friday. thanks for the feedback...hope you're having a great holiday!

miss mary..when do you start mushies. i have a week of mushies...a week of soft and then solids...oh of course the first week was liquids

Another one obsessed with the scale here lol. I'm getting better about it, but yeah, I just couldn't help myself there for awhile. And it damn near drove me nutz! Going to the gym will help, and once you start eating solid food, believe it or not, you'll start to notice a bigger difference too. Hang in there!! YOU CAN DO THIS!! :P

Im on mushies now. I made some lentil soup and even some potato salad for my husband for the holiday. I ate the mushy part. My scale will hate me in the morning Im sure. Be careful at the gym. Im sticking with walking until my first fill.
