To FILL or not to fill? HELP

[ktsped 42]

Hi everyone....

I had my surgery two years ago. I lost 50 pounds. In the past 6 months I have been at such a standstill. I think I am tight enough and I am making the right food choices but the scale does not move. I even walk/run about 5 times a week, I have an appointment tomorrow to see my doctor. Should I get a bit more put in? Any advice would be helpful!!!

First, congratulations on what you've lost so far, and for getting so near to your goal weight!

I've hit plateaus and pondered the same questions you are asking. I think the clue is that you not losing, yet you are following a diet and exercising. Your band may be due for a small fill. If you are nervous about the fill, I;d suggest doing it early in the week, just in case you need some Fluid removed a day or two later. You don't want to run into problems on a weekend.

Good luck, and let us know how it turns out!

Thanks for the support! So I saw my doctor on Tuesday and he put a small amount in. He suggested to go back to the post-op surgery diet for at least two weeks. So I am doing a few days of Protein Shakes and liquids and then will move to soft foods. He feels it will give me a boost and help me to reach my goal.
