question for lifers

[mandyjo 1]

Here is a little backround.... I hit my goal of 150 at the first of June. I continued to lose to the tune of 143. I was unable to keep food down and got very sick. I was blacking out at pints in the day. I was have major muscle pain. I went in for an unfill in my 10cc band. I had a fill back in Feb. and had over 6cc in my band. When the doc went to unfill I only had 5cc's. He took out 2.5. I have felt 100% better. He told me he wanted me to gain 10lbs. Well I have gain 19 in 8 days???? I am pufffy and bloated. Will this level out? Will some of the Water weight come off? Any suggestions? I know I should have gone in to the doc sooner!!!!

Yikes!!! It sounds like there is more going on here than meets the eye. Go back to your surgeon immediately. Something just doesn't sound right at all. Could you have possibly been dehydrated? Please follow up on this.

I was majorly dehydrated!!!

I was majorly dehydrated!!!

So how did the weight even out and how did you become so dehydrated?

[mandyjo 1]

I haven't evened out yet. That is why I am going in tomorrow to get a fill. I am scared because the scale moves everymorning. I became to dehydrated on a day outside and then was never able to caught up. I then my band got tight and couldn't get Water down. (stress)

Did you get an IV for fluids that would fix it within just a couple hours.

Good luck and let us know how it goes. :sad_smile:

If you are rataining fluids, keep your sodium intake below 1800 mg (anything above 2500 is very bad) for two days and drink at least 64 oz of Water daily. Your body should level out after two days.

Hang in there!

Sometimes reaching/maintaining goal is just as tricky as the procedure to get banded.

Keep us posted!

I was filled on Wensday. I have been able to maintain my weight the last few days. I feel good. I am hoping to get the extra 14 lbs off in the next few months. The doc said a lot of the weight is probably Water weight. Doesn't make me feel much better. But I'll take it if I have too

If it is Water weight, give it two weeks and it should even out. I was pumped full with an IV when I had dd cause I was urinating, so the docs were concerned and kept pumping more in me. I swelled up soooo big. It was two weeks before I could put my shoes on.
