You must be doing something right you have lost alot of weight!!!! Keep up the good work!!!

Can anyone give me advice, I keep going from 167lbs and then Sat. I was 164lbs but then today back up again to 167lbs, this has been going on for 2wks now. I am 7wks post op, and I am exercising 5 days a week, can anyone give me any ideas on how to get out of this rut? I want to get back to losing at least 2lbs a week if possible. The last two days I have def. over done the eating but am still exercising. I am back on track today.:scared2:

so hard to stay motivated when your exercising 5 days a week but the scale shows no progress. No I haven't measured myself at all, I know I need to do that but I haven't. Just got to keep pushing myself and not give up. I went through that surgery to succeed not to give up..

I was scared to death when I got my first fill literally had my sister hold my hand, and when he stuck the needle in it was like nothing and no numbing med's either. It was really no big deal, I laid down on the table the dr. stuck the needle in and had me sit up and he filled it. And he even had to go back in and take some out and it was so easy!!!!!!! Trust me don't even sweat it.

Yes so frustrating and the strange thing is too my scale only goes down on Sat. no other day during the week... so funny!!!! I think I will do alot of water today too and see if that helps!!!! Good luck and let me know when you get out of your rut too!!!!! :scared2:

I would like to know this too, mine are awful as well, they look like I am about to fly away at any moment.:scared2:

Let me just say that I had my gallbladder out in 2006 and since then have had constant diarreha it was just horrible tried every kind of med's out there prescription and over the counter. well after the lapband I have no more issues with that and it could be due to me eating alot healthier than before but I go one a day now and that is it!!!!!!! I did have a problem with constipation for about a week and I ended up drinking a bottle of that magnisium something that gross stuff and after that haven't had another problem. It will be two months banded on the 3rd of July.

I was banded on May 3rd and have only lost 26lbs so far and the scale has not moved at all in over a week and a half. I am also frustrated but I keep moving a head the gym 5 days a week and eating well, sometimes cheating slightly but still staying within my calorie limits. You need to start fresh today and get the weight loss moving again. You have to weigh yourself to know where your starting from. You have a ton of support from all of us. Anytime you need some motivation you can contact any of us... Good luck, you can do it.

Last week I exercised 5 days a week, mind you I may have ate about 1100 calories a few days last week but still, the scale did not move 1lb!!!!!! I am about 7 weeks post op, I have been losing about 3lbs a week since surgery but nothing last week. Is this normal? Am I not doing something right? I am really giving my all when exercising, today I did 50minutes and burned 324 calories which I think is really good. Any suggestions out there to get my weight loss back on track? I have had one fill so far, 3.66cc's.

Do you take the total calories you have eaten for the day and then subtract how many calories you have burned exercising and that is how many calories you actually consumed or do you just go with what you have eaten?

So then this may be a very stupid question but just curious, say I should be eating 1100 calories a day but then I burn 300 a the gym, should I be replacing those 300 calories that I burned at the gym with more food?

I def am not getting 64oz of water in everyday prob. closer to 40oz. And I am doing the treadmill everyday but different routine on it but getting bored, I guess I will try the bike too, not too big on the eliptical machine not very coordinated for that.

My fingers seem a little swollen and rings a little tighter. Is there anything you recommend to get rid of the excess fluid? What causes that?

I would love to have one but aren't they really expensive?

I am in the gym 5 days a week on average from 35 to 50 minutes a day and am burning anywhere from 220 to 320 calories at a time. I feel great afterward but the weight is coming off so slowly!!!

So I was good all day today until I went over my friends house she went to McDonalds and I had 6 chicken nuggets and 1 double cheeseburger with no bun!!!!! I feel so guilty because I didn't go to the gym either today just a 20minute walk!!!!! Need to get back on the ball tomorrow, I have 3.66cc's in my band right now I thought I would not be able to eat that much but it went down with no problem... I had about 1200 calories all together today so I guess that isn't too bad I have been staying around 900 a day. Just got to shake it off and not do that again!!!!

Yeah I know but got on the scale this morning and looks like I gained 3lbs I usually get on the scale on Sat and lose at least 3lbs. So aggrevated.

Thanks, I needed to hear that!!!! Normally before band I would fall off the wagon and would just stay off b/c I would come down so hard on myself but I must keep going no way to run from the band that is inside me!!!!!LOL

My question is I had my first fill last Friday and I have been nauseous since. It seems to come and go. I can keep food down just fine. Will this go away eventually or does it mean something?

Hello, I am 5 weeks post op and for the past 3 weeks I have been going to the gym. The past 2 weeks it has been 5 days a week for about 35 to 40 minutes each day. I haven't started any abdominal exercises yet as I am not sure when I should start that and what is the best kind to do???? Also anyone have any good exercises for under the arms??

I am 6wks post op and still burping like a sailor!!!!!

I hate to be gross but I must ask b/c you are all the pro's but I had my first fill yesterday and haven't had anything to eat at all since Thurs. I have been in the bathroom all day today with the runs. I can't take it anymore its every 10 minutes. Has anyone else had this issue after a fill and does anyone know what its from.

I had my first fill this past Friday he gave me 3cc's so I have 3.66cc's. My question is how do you know if you have restriction? I am on full liquids right now so I guess I really wouldn't know at this time. Do I have to wait to see until I am on full food? And what exactly does it feel like? Is it just a full feeling after not eating much?

See that is where I am confused too, I had my first fill on Friday 3cc's and he said 5 days of full liquids, THAT IS TOO LONG.. I am starving I haven't had anything in system since Thurs. night. Then I have to do a few days full liquids then mushies and so forth. Why is everyone so different.

I just had my first fill too on Friday but I am on full liquids til Wed which totally sucks I am starving but even with the broth I am eating I really don't feel all that full. Can't wait to see if there will be a difference as well when I am on full food. I also got 3 cc's
