Had my sx 2 1/2 wks ago.. I lost 10 lbs in the first week and nothing else in a week and a half (actually gained 1 lb.... I feel lime I am eating so little and not losing anything. I even started walking daily too. What is goin on?

Very normal. You might not lose anything else until you get restriction, which could take a few fills. This is the time you're healing so just concentrate on healing and moving thru the liquid-mushy-soft-regular phase

I'm having the same problem. I actually started tracking my calories and I'm eating less than 1000 calories. I've lost 30 pounds but gains back 1, so down 29 now. I have two weeks til my 6w post op. I stated walking as well and hoping the weight loss picks back up. Trying not to get discouraged...

I experienced exactly the same thing...my doc said that my body was used to starvation from the pre-op diet and post-op liquids, so when we start eating, the body will hold onto everything and it's not at all unusual to gain weight until the fills. Don't lose heart; this is just a hiccup in the process, and you WILL lose weight soon enough!

I went through this, too. I started exercising after my two week post-op appointment and the weight started dropping. It's been kind of slow so far, but steady!

The biggest thing I can say is don't watch the scale let the band and exercise do its magic. I got rid of my scale after the band because I kept getting on it. But if u average 10 pounds a month over a year is a big number. It's a slow healthy weight loss.

It is the common problem with mostly people. I think you have to take a bird eye view on your diet plan or daily routine which help to achieve weight goal. I suggest that you do regular exercise. Use less fat and low cholesterol food items. Drink mostly Water instead of using soda or other drinking items. Stay active all the day. Use tea two times in a day. I hope it will be beneficial for you and change lifestyle.
