If you're not already, track calories and measure your portions. It's the only way to be 100% sure you're not accidentally eating too much.

If you're tracking calories and exercising, then it's just a plateau I know they suck and they're frustrating but it's a very normal part of weight loss. Keep staying within your daily calorie allowance and exercising the weight will start coming off again.

How often do you weigh yourself?

Do you see alot of fluctuation day to day?

44lbs in 2 months is nothing to sneeze at. If you lost a lot of that weight quickly you're probably replacing it with denser muscle and if you continue to watch what you eat and increase your activity level the numbers will start moving again.

Well, I'm a complete newbie, but I would be really surprised if this isn't just a fill issue. Think things will change once you have proper restriction and I'm pretty certain 3CC isn't going to do it. I started at 2.5 and that didn't do squat. At 4.6 and starting to have some restriction which has already started pushing the scale back to the right direction.

Really excited about my 3rd fill as I've read many posts where that was the magic one. Not all get lucky and nail it on the 3rd fill, but it seems a lot do.

Hang in there. I'm certain you will be fine soon.

Definetly time for a fill! Take it from me I just gained some weight back bc I didn't have enough in there, get yourself a fill and keep up those good habits that have gotten you to where you are already!!

Get used to the word plateau, because this will be the first of many. Just push through it by maybe cutting back a few calories and adding in some extra exercise. I think the body takes a little mini break from all the weight loss now and then. It's perfectly normal. As long as you don't gain in the interim.

Was at a platue for a couple weeks and then had my fourth fill and hit the green zone...the weight started coming off again! Just be patient dear, it will happen!

While a fill may be necessary the amount of Fluid is different for everyone. Some people never need a fill. When I went in for a fill earlier this week the Surgeon was only willing to give me 0.33cc putting me at 3.33cc in a 10cc band and I'm a big guy with over a hundred pounds left to use. But I've been losing slowly but steadily and he didn't want to push things and risk needing an unfill.

Remember losing weight slowly is just an opportunity for you to adapt to your new normal more naturally.
