I lost 29 pounds my first two weeks then gain back 12 as soon as I started to eat anything. Don't worry after you get tightened the weight pretty much melts off, or it at least does for me

This time frame isn't designed for weight loss, it's for healing. Don't worry about it until you get proper restriction, you'll just frustrate yourself.

I have been doing the same thing!!! After I started on the regular food diet, I started gaining weight back. In a week I have gained 5 pounds!!! OHHHHHHHHH Misery. My DH was doing his own cooking before. I happen to be a super cook. I went back to cooking and cannot resist dinner. Think I may have to move out and leave DH while I am trying to lose weight. Poor guy, he is the best man any woman can have!!!

OH and my first fill is due next Thursday. Will that work? Will that take away my capacity to stuff my face?????

Are you exercising? You have to exercise at least five hours a week. I was banded on 9/18/07 and have not had a fill yet and have already lost 32lbs. I think the main reason is that I have not missed a day of exercise. Remember this surgery is just a tool not the solution.

Good luck.

You also have to realise that a lot of your weight loss pre-surgery isn't serious fat that's coming off, a lot of it's Water weight and muscle from the sudden change in diet you have before you go into your surgery, plus your body has to readjust to eating again and since you've been border line starving youself in the weeks up to the surgery and after the surgery your body is going to start turning a lot of the food you eat into fat. Give it some time and let the band work it's magic.
