Plateau before first fill???



Recommended Posts

I am at week 5 and will go for my fill next week. I have not lost weight in two and half weeks :cry . Is this normal? Am I just freaking out too early? Will I lose weight the week of my first fill? I know, I know, just a little nervous, but would like to hear opinions. :help: I am happy with my 20 pound weight loss, but would like it to keep going....

Is it normal? Yes!

Freakin' out too early? Yes!

Will you lose weight after your first fill? Most likely! If not right away, it won't be long.

You WILL keep losing! No worries :car:

I was told last nights that I was worrying too soon. I was banded on the 4th of September and I have not been losing alot of weight. I think last week was .6 and I was getting discouraged. I haven't even had my first fill yet. What I realized is it took years to put this on and it is not going to go away in a month. We must be patient even though it is hard. I also lost 20 lbs at the beginning and my concern was I didn't want to gain that back. So far so good!!

Thanks for your help - it helps me realize that things are ok according to all you experts! You just dont know what to expect on this long journey..... I am also afraid that since I dont have any restriction right now, I dont want to go overboard..... :rolleyes

      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.
