KboneSRU Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Posted July 4, 2008 Okay guys...im new to this banding thing. First question: I was banded on the 2nd. I have gainede 4 pounds since the band. Please tell me its just gas/air and that will change soon. Second questions....i dont understand how MUCH we should be drinking!! Just one glass for breakfast, one for lunch, and one for dinner??? Please advise??
Kittycat Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 Gaining weight with surgery is normal, I gained 7 lbs...it went away after about a week, gas, bloating, water retention. It's temporary. Drinking...follow your diet plan and drink lots of water!!!! Take care, Cathy
bandgroupie Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 Gaining might have to do with swelling, gas, traveling on the plane, etc. Definitely refer to your post op diet for liquid diet guidelines.

erin2796 Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 It is normal to gain weight right after the surgery, it should be gone in the next week or two at the most. I gained 5 pounds and once the swelling and bloating went away I dropped back down.

denisem Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 I did the same thing...gained 6 lbs after surgery and by the next week, had lost that 6 plus 12 more pounds. I'm kind of stuck at the moment until I get my first fill....not gaining, but not losing either.
