Well weight fluctuation is going to happen. You're gonna be up and down because of water weight. You can't let that defeat you. Sometimes at night Im up as much as six pounds but its water. When I get up in the morning its gone.

Told what Chez you're confusing me lol

Knowing that I could hurt my stomach by eating when I was not supposed too. The band needs time to settle. Not eating is for a reason. Its only temporary so try to hang in there.

I weigh myself in the morning and at night every single day. Keeps me accountable for what I put in my mouth. When I weigh the same at night as I did in the morning I know I lost weight and I jump up and down. I think weighing yourself every day is not good in the beginning but Im ocd like that.

Well really 2lbs a week is normal for banded people whether you want it or not. Any more then that is just a plus.

Its still liquid but that is practice. Good luck to ya.

Yes its normal and if your doctor said wait four weeks then wait. Your only hurting yourself.

But you probably would have lost way more had you not eaten crap.

CG the cream cheese is for protein right? lol

You might be eating too much. How much food are you eating at one time.

TMF that is too much food lol. But I love prime rib. It is one of the only meats I eat ever. I cant eat it very well. The rest is history. I just bought a new wave oven so tomorrow Im gonna cook a whole chicken in it. I want to see if it really is juicy as they say. I don't eat meat anymore but sometimes I do miss it.

Im on the east coast but way south in Jacksonville also known as Jax lol. Glad to meet you. We will help you.

desert lol

Well you can still have eggs and turkey bacon lol if that helps

Earl grey tea is awesome. I love it. The juice and tea taste good too.

You ate a doughnut hole but are afraid to eat meat??? Wow that is starting off on the wrong foot for sure. Is that on your doctors plan I would like to know.

weight loss can cause this problem

Even better is warm some apple juice and fruit punch then put in a tea bag and let steep. Gets rid of gas well.

You cant eat crap and lose weight. I rarely eat starchy carbs. I have lived.

I have not excercised one darn bit. I have been successful. Exercising makes no yay or nay to sagging skin. It is how resilliant your skin is and how much elasticity you have. Exercise will not help with sagging skin. You're either gonna sag or not. I have done well with no exercise. I park father away at stores but that is it. Oh and well work like a dog too. But physical exercise none, nada, zilch

Honey I went a whole year without weight loss. It happens and you just have to plug on. Then I had drastic weight loss and now will be losing my gallbladder because of it. Believe me lose it slow. Those who want fast weight loss are setting themselves up for problems. My doctor said those with extreme weight loss usually end up with gall stones so dont be in a hurry. Let your body adjust it has no choice but to start losing eventually.

You will do it. This will not be like the other times. It's good you are starting now. Don't let the holidays mess with ya though. It's about family and friends now not food.

OOOO I'ma scared s---less lol

I do but not many. I do go to thrift stores and have found unused clothes with tags on them still. It can be less money in the long run until you reach goal. I enjoy thrift shopping. I got three new pair of jeans for 2 bucks each and had never been worn. Still had the price tags on them.

We all have failed other diet regimins, thus leading us to weight loss surgery. I say no. You don't, won't need it if you follow the rules. Losing weight rapidly sets you up for failure or other health issues. Don't rush it the slower the better.
