Mrs J.J 2 Posted July 20, 2008 I haven´t had a fill yet, my fill is scheduled for the last week in July. From what I have read the time from being banded to first fill is our healing time and we shouldn´t be that concerned about losing the weight. We need to concentrate on mending our bodies. So from first fill is when the real deal starts happening. Well that´s how I´m thinking. In the mean time, I´m eating healthy foods, trying to listen to my body and not over eat. Drinking lots of Water and getting out and about to walk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JenniLeen 0 Posted July 20, 2008 :thumbup: thats awesome! keep up the hard work! i weigh myself once a week. I've found if i I put the scale up high and have to get a step stool or ask someone to get it for me I don't obsess about it. You just have to remember that our weight fluctuates from day to day, so if you hop on and it's higher don't get discouraged! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarylandMommy 0 Posted July 20, 2008 I need to hide my scale...because I am OCD about it and am getting discouraged!! I am going to try and weigh only once a week...it will probably make me feel a whole lot better!!!!!! Congrats on your loss.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Florida girl 0 Posted July 20, 2008 Too funny! I made the same proclomation when I was banded on 07/01/08. I ended up breaking down and weighing myself at the gym last week and had lost 10 pounds. I was thrilled of course, but a little disappointed that I couldn't show more restraint either. I have read too many stories of people who get so caught up in the numbers during the first month. I just didn't want to fall into that trap. So now, I am not weighing again till 07/30 which will be my 1 month follow up. Congrats on your weight loss! :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LibbyS 0 Posted July 20, 2008 I am weighing myself every day and I know I shouldn't, but I don't get too discouraged on days when I don't lose. I have lost weight several times (but not kept it off). I know it comes off in chunks and then sometimes it just sticks, but inches are going too. I have lost almost 20 lbs since I went on the pre-op diet. I am only having 700-1000 calories a day on full liquid, so I don't know how I wouldn't lose. I am still somewhat swollen from the surgery, wonder how long it takes for the gas to leave?

mom2twins 0 Posted July 20, 2008 Once again you guys have helped me talk myself out of buying a scale for the house. I have only weighed myself at the gym and doctors for years. I am so scared taht if I buy one I will be on it almost as much as I am on this web site now. Congrats on al the weight you guys have lost and hopefully I will soon be able to see my ticker start moving that direction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mendypoo 0 Posted July 21, 2008 Remember to also do measurements. When you have the platues it's nice to see things coming off in other directions. Just this past couple of weeks I haven't lost much weight but I lost another 2 inches off my butt! then of course I OCD'ed on my graghs....lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am so crazy, I weigh myself everyday and I have lost 13 pounds since being banded on the 27th of June but I have not lost any weight this past week at all. I am eating until I am full and trying to eat the Protein first etc. I am also not eating anything bad for me and I am getting upset. I know I should not weigh everyday but I just can't seem to help myself. Good Luck to you and maybe I can stay off of the scale.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
