its perfectly normal to gain a little after surgery. You had several liters of fluids going in you during surgery, you have swelling and many other factors. Plus, liquids can be high in sodium (especially broths). Dont focus on the scale for at least 3 weeks after surgery, it will just disappoint you.

Thanks! I have had some broth, didn't think of the sodium in it...

Hi Tash.. You may have to watch the sodium I was banded on the 21st at surgery I was 235 then day after went to 225 weird huh.. Lol I think it was the scale because the next day it was 233 but I've only had popsicles... Jello... And low sodium broth today at 6 days post op I'm 229. It is so hard for me to get anything in.

I'm about 7 months out and I did gain a few during the first 6 weeks. Its about healing not losing. I didn't actually start to notice a difference in my clothes until 2 months out.

I had gained 5 pounds also after surgery! Its very common... @dropping_weight I had to wait 6 weeks until my first fill.... Im 12 weeks out and i have only had two fills due for another next week.....I had lost most of my 38 pounds in the first 7-8 weeks and now I have been losing like 2 to 3 pounds a week... The band requires alot of patience and hard work...... Im still waiting to get to that green zone.. but im okay with the results this far
