Hey there, just wondering, is there any bandsters out there that have had this happen to them, I got banded on the 22 Jan and was going to the Gym 5 days a week lost 10 kg in the first 3 weeks then a week before my first fill I manage to put on 1. kg:angry_smile: but still went hard out at the gym, Notice that I was losing cm's but weight not moving, then over the Easter break I didn't go to the gym for 3 weeks and I have dropped 3kgs What going on here, I'm heading to the gym today too get back into it, Don't get me wrong I think its great, but weird, Is it due to my body having a rest from the gym as I haven't been following the rules,:Dancing_wub: Which I know I should, What I mean by not following the rules, I eat more than 3 meals a day, but they are heaps small,

Hang in there Ang, I too are going through the same thing, It really does your head in, My first fill 3/3 my doctor said to me if I didn't feel any restriction not to be afraid to come back in, I gave it a week and then rang up for another fill which I had on 11/3. so that was my second fill I feel a little restriction but not much so I'm due to go back in on the 31 March for a 3rd fill, I too are not measuring my food or counting my calories when I first got banded I lost 20lbs, I thought wow:tongue2: this is great and that was just in one week but then when I went back on solids I managed to put on 2lbs, boy did I start stressing even when I had my first fill I didn't lose any thing plus I hadn't been sticking to the rules, But I have started going to the gym which I really hate,:biggrin: but once I get there I'm ok, I just took it nice and easy at the begining, I too worry about failing too, since I had my second fill I have manage to drop those 2lbs, When I see my doctor I throw him heaps of questions, well ?we payed enough aye, why shouldn't we, plus my doctor pretty good anyway, and I have asked him some pretty dumb questions, but hey I needed to know for myself, He told me my trouble was since I lost the 20lbs so quick in the first week, I want that to happen ever week which is so true:blush: He reckon's it should take about three fill to really feel the restriction but each person different, Go back to your doctor and get another fill even if it before your 4 weeks. Look at the postives you have lost 27lbs and your are eating way less food, just give it time you will get your head around it, as I'm still trying too:blush: Your be fine

same thing has happen to me too, I was banded on the 22/1 lost 20lbs in a week, I thought well this is great, and then before I had my first fill I put back on 2lbs , As I was back on soilds, I had my first fill on the 3 /3 and didn't feel any restriction went back a week later for another fill on 11/3 and finally starting to lose again slowly, I hear your pain, It really does your head in. I think OMG I'm going to fail, I just pull my self out of it, Look your done great and lost 20lbs:thumbup: Plus you are early days. My doc keeps telling me to relax, It because we have had such a great lost at the begining we want that every week, well I know I did, plus I go to the gym which really help's even though my weight came to a little stand still:angry: I found I was still losing cm's on my hips and waist etc, Take care

You are doing fine, I gained too, Its only 2 pounds, I know how you feel it really does your head in. I was banded 22 Jan 2008 and lost 20 pounds and put on 2 pounds before my first fill, Hang in there you doing great

Hi there, Sounds as though we are in the same boat, I had my first fill on the 3 March, And have felt no restriction at all, At first I thought it was all in my head, so I gave it a week and now heading back in on tuesday to get another fill, My doc was great as he said this may happen and not to be scared to come back in, thats what it is all about listening to your body, I too can easy eat a steak with no retriction I'm eating heaps less though. Good luck :eek: Banded 22 Jan 2008 Lost 10kg
