I have regained two pounds in the past week. I sure hope its just Water weight gain. I went out of town for the holiday. I returned on the 26th and weighed in for the first time in a week and was so happy with my weight loss. Well yesterday I weighed 2 lbs more than I did a week ago. Not good and I want to eat all the time.

Dont worry! I can eat 500 calories for two days in a row and gain two pounds. I think sometimes hidden sodium does it to me. It will probably be gone in a day or two. Chin up!

you are still newly banded......HELLO! "Bandster-hell" until you get a couple more fills, you are in the above mentioned!

Keep a journal of everything that goes in your mouth,,,,,,use that calculator to figure out how many calories you can eat a day and loose two pounds a week (by the way....it says 2,000 cal a day for me, but ave. is 1200-1500).....Protien,protien,protien, and exercise...at least 30 min 3 times a week, in the beginning! after that you will want to up it, because it makes you feel really good...yeah it's hard and hurts, but all those happy hormones are really worth hurting for!

Hope this helps!

I wouldn't worry about a 2 pounds gain. I'ts probably just a natural flucuation in weight that happens to everybody. It probably is Water weight. It should come back off now that your home and into your regualar routine. Please don't let it discourage you!

I go up about 3-4 lbs the week prior to my period....so I normally don't worry about anything under 5 lbs as long as I haven't been way crazy with my eating. I do think sodium can definately affect it - make sure you are drinking plenty of Water, too, and getting LOTS of Protein in....you will be fine! Don't let the scale dictate how you feel about yourself - a few lbs isn't anything to fret over.

Just a quick update. I had 4cc put in my band on Tuesday 01/04/2011. I followed the diet progression, clear liquid, thick liquid, soft diet, regular diet. No problems so far.

But do you want to eat because you're hungry...or just because you want to eat. It's an important thing to be aware of. The band does take away the hunger at some point, but it won't stop you from 'wanting' to eat out of habit. As someone once said, they should probably band the brain too. :blink:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
