First, it would help if you filled out your profile so we can better help you.

I think the best place to start is at the easiest things to control:

-do you count calories, if so, how much do you eat a day?

-are you sticking to a cup or less of food per meal?

-are you getting in all your Protein daily?

Missy's right. Fill out your profile.

2 lbs in one day, one month, one year?

And 2 lbs is nothing btw. We can all gain 2-5 lbs in one day if we ate too much sodium, carbs or even some medications.

I vascilate up and down 1-3 lbs every few days. It's just Water weight.

I agree I can gain 2 to 3 pounds in a day then it goes down pretty fast. I lose about one pound a week and that is really good for me. Everyone is different so listen to your body and adjust. It is a learning process for all of us, you hang in there. Post in a few days and let us know how you are doing we all care. God bless

You are only just getting your second fill so you are still quite early in your banded life. Remember, this is a life change, a marathon, not a sprint. It takes time for you to get restriction and for the band to work as you expect. Keep following your dr's advice and you will be fine.

      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.
