kimmy215 0 Posted February 1, 2006 Hi, I am now one month post banding. I lost 15 pounds during the liquid stage along with being sick. Since then, I have not eaten over 1200 calories per day. I usually have only 1000 per day. The scales are really not moving. One day I may lose a pound and then the next day, I gain it back. This has been going on for the past 2 weeks since off liquids. I go back to the doctor on 2/10/06 and hope he will give me a fill. Do you think this will help? I have noticed many people on this site losing 10 plus pounds every month. I don't want to be a failure. I was so excited the first few weeks. Thanks:( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NJChick 3 Posted February 1, 2006 Some times the body needs a break. 15 lbs is a good amount of weight, maybe your body is saying WHOAH! Stop! I need time to catch up. Its weird, I'll lose one week and gain the next w/out changing anything. If your at 1200 calories just keep it up and give yourself some time to heal, and remember, its not a race. Good luck !!!

Jamoorse 0 Posted February 1, 2006 i am 2 weeks out, was banded 1/16/06 and i lost 15 lbs and now have gained 2 or 3 back after mushies; i think it's normal to gain as you are putting more food back into your stomach; heck i'll basically be on normal food before the first fill, so.................. to go from broth to food, yeah you will gain; i am even walking every day and i'm with NJChick, up one, down 1 etc. I think until after the filling, it's up and down; i think it is about healing, like i said i am 2 weeks out and i am still having pain and burning sensations here and there; i have been out of work 2 weeks and don't know if i am ready to go back or not. did anyone else take more time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
