Lose_it 4 Posted May 18, 2012 Good Afternoon!!! I went to my dr last Thursday and they said Everything looked great! I was happy to hear that. Then they asked if I had hit a plateau yet in my weight and that it would happen more than likely before my first fill... And it happened grrr! I was wondering if anyone else has hit a plateau yet and if so how are you staying on track I get frustrated not seeing the scale go down as it was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdfinch 24 Posted May 19, 2012 Good Afternoon!!! I went to my dr last Thursday and they said Everything looked great! I was happy to hear that. Then they asked if I had hit a plateau yet in my weight and that it would happen more than likely before my first fill... And it happened grrr! I was wondering if anyone else has hit a plateau yet and if so how are you staying on track I get frustrated not seeing the scale go down as it was. Yes I'm there also! I try to stay away from the scale and focus on the amount I'm eating and the weight will follow. Since I have had surgery I lost 12 lbs. 10 was the first week after surgery and 2lbs the second week and I'm going into the 3rd week and I havedn't seen the scale move. So I just said the heck with it and focus on eating correctly and hopefully when I weigh my self at the end of the week it will look better. Hang in there! My first fill won't be until June 27, I can't believe that I have to wait that long. My surgery was May 2 so that means I will have to do this on my own for 8 weeks. Did the doctor say when you would get your first fill? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shy2012 43 Posted May 19, 2012 My Dr. Says first 4-6 weeks is for healing -don't let it get to u. Maybe just consider it healing instead of a plateau. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daisychains7 427 Posted May 20, 2012 My Dr. Says first 4-6 weeks is for healing -don't let it get to u. Maybe just consider it healing instead of a plateau. My doctor said the exact same thing. I had lost 20lbs on the pre op diet.. I'm 11 days post op and have only lost 3lbs since I was banded. I guess I expected big numbers. But I'm trying to be realistic, avoid the scale and focus on learning to eat right for my band as opposed to a number. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdfinch 24 Posted May 20, 2012 I wish my doctor would have told me that. She did tell me that I might hit a spot in the road that I might put some weight back on, but I'm not going to let that happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lose_it 4 Posted May 20, 2012 It's a little frustrating but I'll make it through. I go for my first fill the beginning of June and I'm ready ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
