Frustrations....

[cazbandy]

I had my surgery almost 8 weeks ago and I had a fill 2 weeks ago.

At first the weight came off easily but now even though I am eating less and doing more I am stuck. I have not lost anything in 3 weeks....

Is this normal at this phase?

I drink plenty, do 30-60 mins excercise a day. I eat the right things (mostly) but wonder if I am eating enough. Sadly I am suffering ith constipation and this might have a lot to do with it.

I knew this could happen but its frustrating...I just want to see the scales go down.

it completly normal i only lost 4lbs between my first and second fill im following a reasonably low fat diet but not gona worry till i have restriction as long as i dont gain till then il be happy. i dont weigh myself now i get it done at clinic stops me thinking about it to much you dont have restriction so your no different than you were befor band really so dont worry to much

Right thats me decided, just gonna relax and enjoy me Christmas....

I just wanted reassurance that this is normal and I guess it is...thankyou.

Stressing over it will make it worse....I am not gaining, and I am still nearly 2 stone down - from my heaviest weight - so that should be my focus.

When does the second fill take place, my surgeon made and appointment for 3 month from 24th November...

Hi sorry your feeling down, it all takes time I suppose your body will be adapting to new things and wondering what the heck is going on....I wont have scales in the house or I would be on and off them all the time, I restrict it to once a week and I still have the fear they wont move even after bypass....sending you ((hugs)) keep your chin up its still very early days...xx

god this must be so (((argghhh)) it must be normal though and 2 stone is a heck of a lot anyway.
Your bidy is just adjusting I think.
The thought after having it done and the weight not coming off is horrid but this is just a blip I am sure.
I am months off having a band but I will keep your post in teh back of my mind
xx
Good luck
