Soo i guess an update on my weight is in order i was 296 at hieghest, at surgery i was 275 im now 6 weeks out and im at 247 and im STUCK! i got my first fill friday which was horrible bc i couldnt handle the 3ccs in my band.. almost threw up the water they had me drink then had to get poked again and the ccs taken out! ugh. well i have 1cc in my band, but thats not my problem.. i havent lost a thing! since going to the fill last week i have gained a pound! and im eating what i should.. the only difference is i added fruit and veggies to my diet.. not a lotta fruit maybe about half a cup and about the same or a lil more of veggies.. i dont understand if im doing it right why is this happening!!!! and the most frustrating thing is i hear ppl treating them selves with ice cream, subway, burgers and their loosing weight .... i only have chix fish or turkey, veggies and fruit THATS IT!!!! UGH! i hate plateaus... im not gonna give up i no i cant it would be soo stupid. im hoping if i just stick with it and keep working out it will come off again. (my goal was 15 more pounds by mid august for my bestfriends bday!)

Yea the plateaus suck I'm on one now I only lost 3 lbs in the last 3 weeks. I was reading about people eating anything they want to eat so I tried doing that. Well it didn't work it slowed down my weight loss fast. It was hard to get back on track after that. Keep up the good work you look great!

Meagen don't worry girl! You have lost a lot of weight already! Of course it is our nature to always want more, but just think of where you might have been had you not gone down the path of the lap band. I know I haven't gotten my surgery yet, but from reading about it there seems like you can have that kinda stuff happen. You know what you are eating has the added benefits as being really healthy for your heart, skin, and overall body. Working out will make you strong and athletic. Keep up all the great work! Even with the stall, you are still a huge mentor and inspiration for me!
