6 months

[Lana08 37]

It's been 6 mths how is every one doing??? I'm down 56 pounds not as much as I would have liked but I'm down and that's makes me happy!! I have stalled a little this month for the last 2-3 weeks I'm up a pound or two down a pound or two not sure why? Have I plateaued already? I still have 50-70 pounds more to lose so I figured it would be a while before that happened...I dont work out as much as I should but I try to a couple times a week for sure! I have had 3 or 4 fills I still need a small snack in between meals but I track daily on my fitness pal and only eat a max of 1200 calories a day even with Snacks. The thing I struggle with the most still is getting stuck I still chew and swallow to fast I thought I would have that under control but I don't I get stuck at least once a day!! So frustrating!! I also have a hard time waiting to drink after I eat I know I should wait half hr but I just always feel thirsty and I want to make sure I get all my Water in for the day...anyways that me in a nut shell 6 months later, I was banded Sept 26th. I love my band despite the stuck episodes at least when that happens it reminds me it's still there lol I can't wait to see myself down another 50+ pounds!!!

I'm over a year out and still get stuck maybe twice a week. Learning to eat slow, small bites and chew chew chew is one of the hardest of the rules for me to adhere to. I'm doing so much better but I totally understand.

Regarding the plateau. Mix up your caloric intake. Maybe go on no/low carb for one week, or lower to 800/day or even the other way, 1400 a day for 3 days. Don't do the same exercise every time, mix it all up so that your body isn't accustomed to just one way.

I still struggle with getting stuck as well, yesterday was terrible and kept on trying to eat eventually managing at about ten at night. It's not an easy journey and at the mome nt I'm seriously thinking if giving up.
