don't panic !!!!!, Its from the surgery. I gained 14 pounds of fluid,I lost the fluid and then some. It's19 days after surgery. for me and I'm 23 pounds down. Give it about 4 days and you will start dropping excess fluid and more!! ;.) How is it going for you? It will help if you do continue to constantly drink... What they said about fluid intake is true....Try diet Peach snapple..its awesome and makes drinking fluids much easier. Well good look and keep us posted on your progress. likeabutterfly13

wow, Made it throught surgery and the week that followed. I had a hi-anul hernia fixed along with my band. Both kicked my butt for the first 5 days. I was so upset the first time I set on the scale. I had lost 14 pounds before surgery, 267 was my starting weight.. Needless to say when I stept on the scale after surgery I had gain the 14 pounds back..... in 24 hours!!!>:[ The doc. forgot to tell me that I may be holding water after surgery....Talk about bloated..anyone else have this problem!? Got through the liq. stage and started the mushies. Im not having any problem taking in regular food...Anyone out there that made a super easy transation from liquids to semi solids. I feel that maybe I am doing something wrong because I haven't gotten sick or nuseated yet? I'm excersing regularly, 3 miles on the elipical. Is this normal? or to much? I also think of my food size and wondering.. what is enough? How much is to much? that has always been my problem..size portions....OMG! I've lost 22 lbs. all together now! i'll have a new wiegh in on sunday! talk to you then! P.S. if you need a great liqiud drink, try DIET peach Snapple.. AMAZING!(:
