So Frustrated - Help!!

[vlb11752 0]

I've been doing pretty good, but back when I had my first fill which made 1cc in a 4cc band. Did great had some restriction. Then I got another fill which made 1.25cc did great. Then I got another fill which made 1.5cc. Could only tolerate that for about 3 days. Was unfilled back down to 1.25cc. Did ok then the weight started going up and down. Went back for another fill up to 1.5cc again. I hung in there for 2 weeks but only had about 4 meals in that time and could barely drink Water. So had another unfill back down to 1.25cc.

I did fine lost 13.9 lbs in those 2 weeks I was too tight. I knew I would gain some back from the unfill, but that was ok. I gained 5 lbs. After that I was losing. I lost the 5 I had gained back plus 2 more.

But now, one morning I weighed 193.4 lbs. The NEXT morning I weighed 206.6 lbs. How do you gain 13 lbs litterally overnight? I have taken a couple of those lbs off, but....I don't understand.

I watch what I eat and the amount and I exercise. I don't seem swollen.

How much does everyone else have in a small band?

My only explanation is that you lost a lot of Water during those 2 weeks, you probably lost only 1-2 pounds of fat tissue und muscle tissue, the rest 12 pounds was probably Water. One can not lose that much but water in 2 weeks. In liquid phase, people usually lose more weight, because they are not in solid diet, and have less in their intestines, and body holds less water.

I had a severe cold last month. I had no appetite for 3-4 days, I could not eat any solid food, it looked like I had lost 8 pounds, but I gained those the next week once I start taking solid food. Solid food holds extra water in the body. If you take alcohol, and eat some food, the body holds more water and 6-8 pounds of fluctuations may be normal in one day, but 13lbs is too much.

I go through the same thing on my damn scale at home. It has to be the scale. I would weight in 1 x a month at your doctors office if I were you. scales can be wrong.
