I have been feeling a little fatter the last week so I weighed myself and I have gained 7 pounds since my fill 2 weeks ago. How ass backword is that? Wondering if I need another fill or if maybe restiction will kick in at some point with the recent fill?

A 7 pound gain, in two weeks WITH fill? Could it be PMS? Or perhaps you're retaining Water from foods you're eating? Or even a new medication could cause water retention. Be sure to weigh yourself the same time of day, even in the same clothes if possible.

I weighed myself in the morning and I had a hystorectomy so I cant have a period. I know some are thinking I gorged myself on halloween candy but I actually got rid of it all so I wouldnt eat it. I have not started any new meds. I wonder if I could have some Water weight for some reason I hope thats what it is but thats ALOT of water. My butt doesnt even fit in my computer chair as well as it did before so I can really notice the weight gain. I wonder how many people have had a fill actually take several weeks to work and maybe mine will kick in soon or maybe I just need another fill.

My mother in law had a hystorectomy and she still has a ghost period. No bleeding but heavy bloating and back pain. Maybe you are experiencing this? Also it took about 3 weeks for my fill to kick in.

I think u are right because I have lost 4 pounds of the 7 I gained over night. Must have been Water weight and I do have my overies so I wonder if I still have the water weight from the periods I am supposed to have.

      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.
