tmphillips 0 Posted January 26, 2011 Has anyone become stuck at a weight? I was steadily losing one pound every couple of days, and it has now come to a fast halt with no explantion on January 17. Which I thought at the time was not a big deal, as I had my first fill scheduled for January 19. I did Protein Shakes for the day of, and the next day after the fill. Which I really thought would allow me to lose at least a pound or so. So it has now been over a week, and it is pretty crushing, since I have stayed true to the 4 oz three times a day, with the only snacking being once a day I eat a piece of fruit, like a banana. Now even started working out with a personal trainer this week. My weight is not budging... Any suggestions??? Banded 12/20/10, lost 18 lbs since pre-op visit...pre-op weight- 201 lbs (after doing the 6 month weight loss required by my insurance.) Current weight 184 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LapBandBobbi 8 Posted January 26, 2011 Sometimes it just takes your body awhile to readjust to your new eating habits. Hang in there, the weight will start dropping off again. Also, I noticed as soon as I started a regular exercise program, the weight started coming off even better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kellyjoiii 19 Posted January 26, 2011 Are you sure you are getting enough calories in? Stoke the fire a little....up your calories (smartly) for a few days and see if it starts coming off again. And true, it does take your body a little bit to catch up. And I am not sure how tall you are ....but 184...the lesser you weigh it seems the harder to come off (IMO). I have been wrestling with the same four lbs since the holidays....Good luck. Has anyone become stuck at a weight?
