I am now 7 months post surgery and have lost 35 lbs. However, I have been at the same weight for the last month or 2 even though I am following all instructions. I have had all of my fills, and even had to get my last one let out a little as I was getting sick often. I exercise regularly and have been eating what was suggested by my doctor. Has anyone else experienced this or does anyone have any suggestions on how to get past this plateau?

Yea that sounds very familiar! I too am not making the best decisions 100% of the time, but overall am really following the instructions. I have only lost 35 lbs - 70 lbs is great! Congrats! My issue though is that I had a fill of 6 cc but was getting sick quite often. So they let out .5 cc so now I am at 5.5. I don't think I can go back to 6 as I was scared to eat since I was getting sick pretty often. But I don't feel like I'm at the fullest I should be either since I am not totally satisfied after I eat... Ugh. Makes me feel better to know that someone else is experiencing the same thing. It's like a 7 month curse!

Hi there. I am now 7 months post surgery and have lost 35 lbs. However, I have been at the same weight for the last month or 2 even though I am following all instructions. I have had all of my fills, and even had to get my last one let out a little as I was getting sick often. I exercise regular and have been eating what was suggested by my doctor. Has anyone else experienced this or does anyone have any suggestions on how to get past this plateau?

I'm at the same place! I had a fill that was too tight, and my doctor let it out a little bit and I don't know if I have lost ANY weight! Let me know happens!

This is some GREAT information! I am at a standstill right now, 7 months post surgery, after losing 35 lbs. I am really down, but this information seems very useful and I'm going to try it out! Thanks again!

This most likely means you just ate to quickly. I had this issue soon post surgery and soon after I had a fill that was too tight. Your stomach and body are still getting used to it, so I was told that the food is pretty much caught in your esophagus - almost backed up - because you ate to quickly and your stomach can only hold so much. Just eat slower, smaller spoonfuls and hopefully you won't feel it again. Good luck!
