You've lost 25 pounds in 9 days! That is amazing! I'm experiencing a similar situation. I lost 19 in first 2 weeks but now in mushy phase and gaining. I have had some responses to my post that folks can and do gain weight then but tend to then lose again on solids. Do you have any fill in your band yet? That is an issue for me. I was banded on 10-20 but won't get my first fill until mid-December. My surgeon won't fill until 8 weeks after surgery. Also, I am having trouble getting to 1000 calories. I think if you just "soldier on", continue to do what you have been doing and walk, walk, walk, the weight will eventually start to go down again. Don't beat yourself up over this. I think we are in the same boat and once we are on solids and easily getting the right amount of calories as well as exercising a bit more vigorously we will find the weight will start to move. Slow and steady is the reason for getting a band and not bypass, right? :rolleyes2:
