40.2 lbs! NSV um is a little harder. I would say eating healthier therefore so is my family. Sounds funny but sprinting! Dr Fox told me today to start sprinting to burn more calaries and I just started doing it this week before he told me. So I'm going to try tweeking it a little bit with some advise he gave me. We had a good visit.

Girl dont worry ...The scale was not moving for me either, And i am 4 months post op, but then i started to notice my clothes getting bigger, it was me loosing inches and not pounds....i have had 4 fills and have 6.6cc in my 10cc band. Hang in there

Same here, my GS was the friday 13th in Tijuana with the Dr Garcia and I am fine, no hungry at all, drinking my liquid sip by sip, becacuse still fell cramp when i drink it, but only for that I am fine. somentime feel weak or sleepy i don't know, the only thing that i know 100% is that I am much better than before, because know I will be hearthy for ever. I am doing my best trying to be active, today I went to the gym and walk for 30 minutes slowly, then drink and them rest, now I am here really fresh, I wash my hair and take a long shower, after that I am new again

Feels great don't it:) I did that last week to. I really hated to get rid of all the clothes, because most of them were pretty new to start with. Pre-Surgery. But I also had kept alot of clothes around for years, thinking my weight would go up and down aNd I might need them. Good thing, because I have quite a few things I am now able to fit into from my smaller days. But the other stuff had to go to make room for the NEW. Now I find myself bying a few things that are to small, knowing I will be in them by summer. Good Luck to you all:)

Not consistently losing before your first fill is normal. I know you are so anxious to began this journey and watch the pounds melt away but unfortunately it does not happen just like that. Restriction and the band working sometimes takes several fills, you have to learn how your body responds to each fill and basically learn to eat again. Have patience and believe in your self and most and foremost do not get discouraged, this is a process and it does not happen over night. I do recommend you take measurements, so many of us lose inches when the scales do not move and this will help you stay motivated. Good luck to you.

i think if you keep digging around this site and you will see that others have experienced this as well. it seems to be pretty normal. once the swelling from surgery goes down most don't have any restriction and some people do begin to gain as the band is not serving its purpose yet because you haven't had a fill. so during this phase most commonly referred to as bandster hell you are totally left to rely on good old fashioned will power to restrict your portions. the best you can do is make better choices so if you are eating more at least its more of the good stuff...if you have been cleared to exercise begin to move a bit if you are capable and this may at least help maintain all that you have lost so far. don't fret you will be ok and your band will begin to work wonders...this is just a part of the process for some:)

You are doing GREAT, keep up(or is that down?) the good work. I am 1 week post op today and feel great, 590lbs 1 year ago to 552lbs 1 week pre-op to 536 this morning I am so excited
