I was cleared to workout at one week post-op. I followed the advice and was OK. The weird thing is...exercise gives me energy. When I feel too tired to exercise I still have myself give it a go...a 30 minute walk or so and by the end my endorphins have raised enough that I end up feeling much better than when I started. The best thing is that this energy lasts and so the next day I'm not so tired.

As far as gaining...I don't know. What are you eating? Can you tell us a little about your daily intake?

You are right, though. The first few weeks are for healing so if you are eating properly then you should not worry about it. But, if you are not following "the rules" now is a perfect time to start so that you can move to the losing side!

I am kinda experiencing the same thing right now. I lost 17 pounds between the last week of the pre-op diet and my first week after the band. Then another five pounds during week two and three. I have not done as well weeks three and four. I have been playing around with the same three pounds and not really losing anything that I consider significant.I think I need a fill. I have my next follow-up appt. (5 week) tomorrow. I am definitely asking for a fill to keep from gaining.
