    Plateau?

    Hello Everyone, I had surgery on 8/26/10 and have lost a total of 79 pounds, however, I now need help, I feel I have hit a plateau in my weight loss. I have only lost 2 pounds in 1 month and I feel I have hit a plateau, can anyone help by suggesting things for me to do. I was doing so good and now I hate myself. Thank you all for your help..

    Why did I gain weight

    Hello to you all, I was banded on 8/26/10, and have currently lost 72 pounds, however, since today is my weigh in, I went to weigh myself and gained 1 1/2 pounds. I am very disappointed and cannot understand where I went wrong. Do any of you that have been on this journey longer than me, have been through this. Thank you.

    Weight Gain with a Fill

    Thank you for your comments...I also had my fill on February 28, 2011 and was VERY disappointed with this weight gain, I'm hoping it only has to do with a bowel movement, what can I drink to help with my bowel. Does it really take 2 weeks for the fill to kick in?
  5. Good afternoon everyone, I am so upset right now!!!! I had surgery in August, 2010 have lost 60 pounds and just out of curiousity I weighed myself right now and it showed that I gained 5 pounds... 5 pounds from Monday? How could that be? Can anyone please explain this to me, thank you!
  6. Happy Holidays to everyone...I have a question, I was banded on August 26, 2010 and have lost 51 pounds so far great for me but I have seen a lot of people post that they have lost about 60-70 pounds in 4 months which is awesome and I understand that each one of us is different. Question, I am feeling very constipated and have not had a bowel movement in a couple of days, can I take benefiber? Or what do you guys recommend? Thank you for your input.

    Constipation?

    Thank you all for your responses, I went to the pharmacy and picked up Benefiber Drink Mix in the Kiwi Strawberry flavor and it's delicious, oh and it's also Sugar Free, I mixed it in my drink and was able to have a bowel movement...Thank you all and have a great Christmas..
  8. Hello everyone.. Brief introduction, had surgery on August 26, 2010 I am 46 pounds down and until now I don't know how it feels to have a stuck episode, but I was having lunch a chicken Soup and as I am eating the chicken I swallowed and felt an awful pressure on my chest and felt my food come back up, I could feel it and I felt like vomiting but was unable to...Please help me and tell me what I did wrong. Thank you...
