Small gain, big loss



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill 2 weeks ago. Feels likes there is no restriction in my band. Freaked because the scale said I gain 3lbs and I knew there was no way that was possible. I upped my Protein to 80 grams and upped m Water to 96oz'z. Then I had my husband hide the scales. Waited a week to weigh again. Lost those pesky 3lbs and another 3. I am a happy girl :)

This is exactly what I needed to hear and exactly what I am going through! I also had my first fill 2 weeks ago and feel very little restriction. Lost 2lb last week and trying to hold out another whole week before I weigh again. Good luck for next week! Luluxx

please be careful of all the Water you are drinking. you can become toxic with Water which means you can wash out all your water soluable Vitamins, like potassium, sodium, b''s and c's. there is such a thing called to much. i think most doctors recommend 64 oz a day. but do check with your doctor. but good job on working hard at losing the wt.

I weigh myself everyday, most days twice....it is very common to fluctuate within the same 5 lbs....I have been doing it for years...

I can be 3 lbs up today, down 2 tomorrow, up one the next, then down 4...etc, etc....it's peaks and valleys....

When you are still loosing, you still peak...it's just that the valleys gradually get a little lower....

The only time I get concerned is when I peak up at the 5 lb limit...and stay there are 2-3 days....but sure enough, without changing anything I do, it will drop....

Yippee! Way to go. I think I need to hide my scale, too, and up my game in the exercise department. January is kind of a tough month anyway, but add in the natural dips and plateaus and it's time for some rolling up of the sleeves!

      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.
