weight loss help

i had the lap band surgery two weeks ago...the first week i lost five pounds...this week i gained four pounds...is this normal...

Princess, I cant give you advice on the band because I had RNY.  But I would call your doctor and ask him if this is normal.  Then you will know and not worry about it.  Hope this finds you feeling well otherwise.  Email if you have any other questions.  Colete

Are you drinking enough water? That can make a big difference as well as snacking instead of sticking to three meals a day.  Although I'm RNY those are the areas they most often mention in our local support group meetings for those that had Lap Band or RNY. 

I actually gaine the first week because of all the swelling and gas.  At 2 weeks you probably are still having some of that.  I would imagine you are probably at the "mushie" stage of eating.  Jus****ch what you're eating and drink your water.  Try to remember you don't have any restriction yet.  It will get better - I promise!
