So I was banded May 11th and have lost 17 lbs from my highest weight. Ever since I started my pureed stage my weight has stayed the same. I'm eating 3oz for Breakfast, lunch, and dinner (eggs, egg salad, tuna salad, chicken breast). Plus I'm having my Protein shakes in between. When I'm not eating or having a shake, I either drink Water or tea. I had my period this week and haven't been going to the bathroom regurlary if you know what I mean. Any suggestion?

Only went to the gym twice so far this week. My allergies are kicking my ass and I feel like crap.

i hope someone can give us some insight on this cuz i fear that very thing. i was banded on the 20th, lost 15 pounds since may 6th and my fear is that my body is so used to liquids only that introducing foods will cause it to hold on to it, even if it's healthy food.< /p>

It is very common for weight loss to stall when you start adding food (even mushies) back into your diet. Don't let it get you down...just keep following your surgeon's instructions and you will start losing again (my stall lasted about 2 weeks).

I agree with vickyd; the slow down is normal. Oh, and you can try Miralax if you're irregular; mixes completely into any drink (not chunky or chalky) and normally works for me within 12-24 hours. Hope that helps!

Same here! In fact the week I started back on food, I gained 5 lbs. Don't worry. Your body will adjust and you'll start losing again.

I slowed down my weight loss too, it happens just keep following the diet as your Dr told you. As someone told me the first six weeks you are still healing so dont concentrate too much on the numbers. I know easier said than done. Still with me I noticed I wouldnt have drop anything especially on my period but then all of a sudden I will drop a pound or two. Your body has a lot going on and you are not going to get rid of all your weight in a few weeks but if you look at the ave for all the weeks your banded its a lot really in a short time.

I don't get a fill until week 6. Besides drinking shakes, I only drink Water or Decaf tea. we'll see what happens. Can't wait to get a fill, maybe that will help andof course get walking more.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
