Post-fill Plateau?



Recommended Posts

Hey guys! I had my first fill a couple weeks ago with no issues, but now I seem to be stuck at the same weight. I'm still eating correctly and exercising (an hour of laps every day in the pool), but I can't seem to break 350. What's up? Anyone else been here? Thanks!

Change your exercise routine. You can't do the same thing daily and get the same results. I use to just do 3-4 1 hour Zumba and other exercise classes a week and I could loose weight. Now I have to walk 4-5 miles and incorporate exercise classes because my body need a change.So far it is working. The goal is to constantly ttrick your body because it will stall because it gets use to the same routine.

FYI the best exercise that i have seen the greatest weightloss is walking. When I walk 4-6 at one time, I get on the scale after I am finished and I am down 2-2.5lbs. Walking has taken off more weight than any class that I have taken at the gym. Try it and see if it changes,

Hi Alan,

I was banded on Sept 13th, I've lost 14 lbs since the day of surgery and when I weighed at the doctors on Sept 28. Then I've stalled when I went on pureed foods. I am doing everything right but i haven't been able to do much exercising - just some walking. I've had more pain than others I read about. I can't say it is just that I lost because of surgery. I lost 13 lbs since mid-August pre-op and 40 lbs in the last couple of years. So this weight is not Water weight.

Been stucked at 238 since Sept 28. Went to my primary care on Friday and I still weigh the same. I've been sick so I could say that might contribute but I'm frustrated regardless. I am getting between 600-900 calories per day and I am in ketosis so I should be dropping weight. I hope this kicks back in soon.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
