Afraid of weight gain

[shadi]

My 3 weeks liquid phase will be over this coming Monday. So far I have only lost 7-8 pounds:( And I am so afraid to gain it back once I start solid food. Has anyone experienced that? Or did you guys still lose until the first fill?

Help

I never gained anything back and kept losing.

Hi Shadi,

I continued to lose up till my first fill. The last two - three weeks I slowed down a bit.

If you can, try and get some walking in for exercise. I really think that helped me keep losing.

As soon as I was given the green light to return to working out at the gym, I was there.

You can do this.

Good luck,

Kristi

I lost 21 pounds in 21 days on liquids. I got to eat "real" food again as of Christmas Eve and then gained five pounds back over the holidays before my first fill. We area ll very different, just do your best.

I lost 10 lbs before my surgery, 10 pounds during liquid phase and have gained 5 of that back. I'm going for my first fill Monday. I have no restriction and my willpower is lacking. You may be one of the lucky ones with some restriction after banding, but just do your best.

I agree--just do your best. I was down 16 during liquid phase. I've been on and off track and didn't even weigh last week. I will on Wed and see what's happening.
