[lee72 42]

i was banded on the 19th. first week was so incredible! post surgery was a bit smooth not what i had expected. second week something different....the week started out at me at 194lb, everyday a pound was added out of nowhere!!!! yikes well today i am 194lbs again. just saying kinda wierd. just wanted to know if anyone else went through this too. i am not panicing or anything just weird.

p.s. my belly itches like crazy, i thought itching was when skin stretched. lots of lotion on my belly now

just a weird week

good luck everyone

It is totally normal. Please don't worry about your weight right now as it isn't time to lose, it's time to heal.

Also, my belly itched like mad around then and I bought some hydrocotisone spray at Walgreens that helped a lot.

Good luck and congrats!

I'm glad to hear that. I lost 22lbs then when I started to eat full liquids and soft food I gained 1.5 lbs and have stayed there. I am 2 weeks post op tomorrow.

Finally started to lose again after a 2week stand still.

I'm 4 weeks out. The first 2 weeks I could barely eat and really lost. This past week I have NO problem eating 1200cal per day, and NO weight loss. But I do notice restriction. I really can't eat more than a cup at a time. And although. 1200 seems to be a decent amount for weight loss, it is SO much less than the portions I used to eat that I thought weight would be flying off.

my doctor actually said i was starving myself and i had stopped my metabolism. also i have not been excirsing, how about you? maybe if you write down what you are eating you'll establish a better info to make changes to help you drop the weight.

i forgot about the weight, because i was almost going to start buying size 22 (2x) and now i fit into

size 16 (L) comfortably. sometimes weight is not all that, have you notice any changes in your clothing size?

just saying, don't get discouraged

I am experiencing the same issues. When I spoke to my nutritionist, she said it's a defense mechanism from your body. It's almost trying to hold on to your weight since some of it was lost so quickly in the prior weeks. Now that I am in week 5/6, I am starting to see the numbers change finally. But I was stuck for two weeks and it made no sense! Just like you, I couldn't believe how eating 1000-1200 (so much less than I used to eat) wasn't making any difference.
