No Weight Loss In Over 2 Months



Recommended Posts

I was doing great losing weight steadily 1-2 lbs a week, then it came to a halt i noticed i was able to eat more and was snacking. over the next few weeks i went in for small fills, finally i noticed i was eating less and not snacking BUT i was sick and had alot of drainage so when i would go to bed i would wake up puking it would come up so fast and forceful i would jump up out of bed and to the bathroom (sometimes i did not make it) and i could not get over my cough. It was a thurs. when i got the small fill and by the next tue. i went in and they gave me a small unfill but i had lost 3 lbs.

Well then i went in 2 weeks later and weight was the same no loss. She said she just took a teeny tiny bit out and didnt want to put any back in. she said i had a considerable amount in and should be good at this point. i have 5.5 in a 10cc band.

one of my questions is does that teeny tiny bit make that much diff? i dont understand how at one point i could eat good amount then get a small fill and am too tight then has a teeny bit taken out and now am right back where i was, does she not want to give me a fill because it will be too tight again? i feel like i dont have the restriction i once had when i was losing but am close. again i am not gaining just staying the same.

is it possible i could have a stretched pouch? i think i am going to try the 5 day pouch test. i am also thinking about going back in for a fill. although i am not sure she will give me one. any thoughts or suggestions will be appreciated.

I do think that even a tiny fill/unfill can make a BIG difference. SO- work with what you have. Sometimes you just have to use willpower and mind over matter. DO the 5 day pouch test, that is always a good "reset."

Do you log your food? If not, you really should- see what you are actually eating vs what you think you are eating. Also exercise.

It is much better to be a smidge too loose than a smidge too tight- if you're too lose or just not quiiiite in the sweet spot, work with it so that when you lose a little more weight you might be able to get another fill to get you to the sweet spot.

Hope that helps/makes sense!! Good luck!!!

Well, I don't think you need a fill. Yes a tiny bit can make all the difference.

I went almost 5 months with out losing an ounce 294.4 every flipping time I got on the scale.< /p>

I seen my dr. we both agreed I did not need a fill. Seen my nutritionist, she said everything I was doing/eating was great. Exercise - great. She suggested I add strength training to my exercise routine. I joined the "pump it" class twice a week. After the first week I broke that plateau. That was 3 months and 15 pounds ago!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
