Stressed out about gaining back a few pounds before my 1st fill...



Recommended Posts

So I had my surgery on 02-15-11 and my 1st fill is 03-30-11. After surgery I lost 14 lbs the fist 2 weeks, then I kind of stopped losing weight and as I started eating solid foods I gained back 4-5 lbs. I keep losing it and gaining it right back. Now I feel really bad about gaining some weight back and I feel like im going to disappoint the doctor or someone else. I don't know anyone where I live that has the band, so I really don't have anyone to talk to and get advice. I just hate having the feeling that im gonna disappoint someone. Is it normal to gain weight back like this when you start back on solid food?

Thanks~Katy

It is normal! Don't worry! I lost 9 lbs my first week post op. Then for the next 4 weeks I kept fluctuating til my 6 week appointment, I had only lost 2 lb since my 9 day post op appointment. I felt embarrassed, but my doc did not say anything. From then on things went better

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
