And I put on 2 lbs! I took it back off, but I have no restriction and I am finding it hard to stay full! Did this happen to anyone else. I have 3 more weeks before my fill :(

Always ask Qs but for this one - just go back over old threads. Not many days pass without someone asking this! Not saying don't ask - just trying to show how common it is.

There is nothing to stop you feeling hunger yet. And early weight loss is often followed by  a stall or a small gain. Relax! It will get better!

Highest 290, Banded - 248   Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.

Happily banded since May 2006.  Regain of 28lbs 2013-14.  ALL GONE!

But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,

I almost exactly where you are...I'll be 4 week po on Friday.  I weigh myself every Friday morning and have lost consistently for the first 3.  But I will not be surpised if I gain this week.  I can now eat almost anything, except raw veges, and I can eat more solid foods that I could even drink liquids at the first week out.

I've promised myself that I'm not going to feel bad if I have a gain...this is just the very beginning of a journey...right.

I understand your frustration, but don't be discouraged.  This period is what many of us refer to as "bandster hell."  Hang in there and you will be getting your fill before you know it and back on track.  Keep your eyes on the prize!  Hugs.

I have the very same problem! The first three days after surgery I lost 5 lbs, then it stopped, and meanwhile I gained 2 lbs. I don't feel full as well, and I find it also very, very frustrating. My first fill will be April 20th, so I guess both of us have to be watching very carefully the amount of food and be patient. You are definitely not alone with this problem!
Roll on weight loss!
