At 4 months I was 33.5, just checked my journal. Some months I had 8 pounds lost and others as low as 4 and now nothing this past month. It will come off, it takes time. After one year I am down 83 pounds. You are doing great! As for if you need a fill....is a small amount of food keeping you statisfied and are you able to go about 4 hours before you are hungry again? Are you getting any foods stuck? If you answered no, then I would go in for a fill.

My doctor says UP to 2 pounds per week so expecting 2 pounds per week is expecting a lot. I had already lost 100 pounds presurgery so I have lost at a slower rate than some.

What would expect another fill to do? Not being sarcastic, but determining the need for a fill.

Would it be to eat less?

Keep in mind, exercising will change a persons body shape, burning fat it building muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat, or so I've been told.

I've plataued a few times and sooner or later things simply catch up and let loose.

I think you are doing fine and if you are not starving or killing yourself at the gym...leave yourself alone! This is not a race!

I agree that you're expecting a lot. My surgeon told me losses were "usually 1-2 lbs per week." Anytime someone says "usually" you have to figure that some people lose that much, some people lose a lot more and some lose a lot less.

I think if we go into this expecting to always be at the high end, we're setting ourselves up for disappointment. So far, I've been a slow loser and that's been tough for me to cope with, but I just keep reminding myself that losing slow is still losing, and that's what I'm after.

Best of luck to you. To me, it sounds like you're doing great.
