Plateau's Somebody talk to me

That really is the most important part of being banded. That was the real difference for me. I always started eating junk whenever I hit a plateau

on any other diet. Not losing anyway, might as well eat. Stinkin thinkin.

There were so many times I didn't lose for weeks since I have been banded. Then all of a sudden, the scale would move and I would be so surprised because I wasn't expecting to drop 5 lbs in week. It was because I kept following the bandster rules, eating small portions, lots of Protein and veggies and didn't give up and eat junk when the scale didn't move.

You're right about this. I am a veteran dieter but I never had reactions to eating this way. Since the band, I sit at the same or a higher number for days even when i am doing everything right. It's very different than my previous diets.

It's like my body just doesn't want to give up the weight and I have to MAKE it. Previous diets I would lose a half pound ro a quarter pound but put it right back on.

With the band, the scale just stops and I don't lose but when I do it's a big jump. I also don't gain the weight back as easily too.

Something has definately changed in my body with the band. It's good and I have to just be patient- not one of my strong points in the past. But i'm working on it.

I just can't go back to not trying anyway. I am determined to get this weight problem solved. I'm sick of it and losing 41 pounds just isn't enough for me anymore. In the past, I would let up on my efforts when I felt a little better about my body but not anymore. My health problems demand that I get to an average weight.

thanks for your insight
