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..

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.

Good morning everyone, I am VERY upset at myself, I had a fill on February 28, 2011 I believe I am at 5cc in a 10cc band. This morning I weighed myself and gained 3 pounds!!! YES 3 pounds how is that possible. I am so MAD at myself, can this really happen?

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?

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!

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.

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..

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...

Good morning to you all, I had my surgery on August 26, 2010, as of Monday I am 42 pounds down, however, I went to weigh myself this morning and it said I gained 2 pounds. Why does this happen? I tried weighing myself all this week and my weight was up and down. Can someone please help because I am VERY discouraged. Thank you for all your input
