frustrated

I had my surgery 11-24-09.. By Dec. 3 I had lost 11 pounds...I have not lost an ounce since then..I have gaine a pound then lost the same pound for several days...I feel like I have sone something wrong....I am following my Dr. plan...exercising..but..I am stuck just like before the surgery..Its really disappointing....The people that know about my surgery ask me every other day...How much have you lost now.....All I can say is....well..none the last few days...but my sugar has been below 200 for the last two weeks..So..at least thats a good thing..Im gonna hang in there and remember I havent even had a fill yet...drink, exercise and make the right choices and hopefully the weight will start falling off soon

 I'm in the same boat as you. I got on the scale today and it said I was up 3 lbs!  I am choosing to just ignore it and keep doing what I'm doing. I'm still on pureed and I know I'm doing fine.  I go for my first fill on the 23rd so we'll see what the doctors scale says.   Don't get discouraged. Remember it's a slow and steady journey after the band is placed.. not a mad dash to the finish line. 

Hi..
I had a relize band done on Dec 3rd.. so I am just a week out . weight :Im down 19 Ib  my problems is I can tolerate anything.
I have been on liquids and soft foods, but I picked up a pretzel and had no problem..so being stupid  i popped a couple of peanuts in  and again no problem... so I feel i have NO restriction at this point.. Im  also wondering if this is normal.

thanks........

The band itself, in most people, does not really cause noticable restriction, it's the fills that will give you that and that will take some time to get that.  Hang in there, it is frustrating waiting, but just know we are headed in the right direction.  :) 

boo

I also got banded, the day before you ...I am currently on soft foods.  AND I feel no restriction either.  I went to the doc for my follow up and am down 16 pounds since my consult.....Unsure really how much I lost with the band on me...however, this part is definitely hard since I really don't know when too much is too much.  I mean they tell you to measure and do you? I haven't measured to much and then later I think...was that too much, did I eat too much ...did I do a bad thing to my band by eating too much?  A couple times I felt a sharp pain in my back....I am thinking was that my warning pain that I ate too much...
I don't get a fill till January 7, 2010...something else to worry about.  But I am trying to follow the rules, get my protein in and my liquid...but really, I feel like I could eat anything...so far some of my food has not bee soft on my plate....I chew chewed until it was mush but ....these phases are hard.

Good Luck to you....
