Try to up the exercise a bit and that may help. Plateaus are normal occurrences while our bodies readjust to the new you!

Plateaus suck!! My doctor told me that plateaus are expect part of this journey and not to get discouraged, that even the most complient patient will hit some sort of plateau at some point. I hit one that last a little over a month- my doctor said it was normal and he never worries until the plateau has lasted over 3 months, then it is unusual.

Sometime simple changes like adding carbs back or cutting them out will break the plateau. Some time upping or even downing exercise can break it. Just look at what you can change up to see if you can break it.

I've had 2 and They do suck! The first one was just a few weeks and the doc said not to work out for a week and then get back to it hard. I did and it helped. =) The second one I am just coming out of. I weighed the same from 10/9/12 til 1/3/13! Ugh! Almost 3 whole months! It was partially my fault. All those Halloween/Thansgiving/Christmas/New Years parties. Haha. Not a great time of year for a Lapbander. I kicked up my veggies and Water intake and am now doing strength training 4 x a week and cardio (walking/jogging) the other 3 days. I have lost 2lbs in a few days and am satisfied I have come over the top. Thank goodness I didn't gain any during that time! Just floated between a few pounds. Good luck! It sucks, but you will get through it. =)

After your fill you might want to try changing up your diet. Maybe go on a low/no carb for a week or increase your caloric intake so your body kickstarts it's metabolism again. Or, go the other direction and lowball your calories to around 800? Just mix it up and change your exercise routine while your at it. Just don't do the same things you've been doing.

Mostly I would recommend staying away from processed foods like breads or any grains at all for a bit?

      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.
