Am I in bandser hell?

[DebbieZig 3]

I had my 3rd fill on Dec 9, and am due to get my 4th fill on Jan 20. My problem is that I have not lost a single pound since the 9th! Am I in bandster hell? I've already lost 50 of the 100 pounds I need to lose...Any ideas?

Ummm, are you hungry? I'd say that's awesome weight loss, but if you're suffering with hunger, then yes, you're in bandster hell.

My understanding of bandster hell is really the time between the surgery when your body is healing and your first fill when you have extreme hunger. I know I've been in it (and still am), since I am 3 months post op and just having my first fill tomorrow :-(!

Sometimes the weight levels off a bit and you need to play with your calories. Some days I do 800, some days I do 1000 so my body doesn't get used to a certain number and starts holding onto it if I stay on the low end. Are you exercising? Believe me, I hate it, but when the scale stops moving, I try to exercise a little more and that gets it moving again.

Hope this helps! Great job on losing half the weight you need to! That's an awesome accomplishment!!!
