journey2befit 8 Posted March 1, 2017 Hello everyone. How are you doing? I'm feeling a little discouraged and depressed. I had lapband surgery on February 10th. I went in at 226lbs and then dropped to 214lbs. I checked my weight today and I am 215.5lbs. Has anyone hit a plateau? I'm currently on soft foods, but I figured I'd be dropping more weight. I haven't even had my first fill yet. Has this happened to any of you? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jugido64 78 Posted March 2, 2017 I had a band then went back about 9 months later for a gastric sleeve. I did so because having a band requires extremely vigilant eating and a lot of exercise to make the band work. I had an extremely damaged spine so once it let go....no more exercise. Two weeks isn't enough time to "plateau". If you're still doing 2-3 Protein drinks daily and maybe 2-4 ozs of cottage cheese or greek yougurt....you'll still be losing. Your body must adjust and if you're sneaking in any carbohydrates your body could be clinging to any empty calories. I hope your body, mind adjust to this tool. Best wishes 1 journey2befit reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kecree01 1 Posted March 2, 2017 Yes. I dropped 13 lbs pre-op and then gained 2. I think some of it had to do with the trauma your body takes from surgery and the swelling. I'm waiting a full week to weigh again. 1 journey2befit reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't lost anymore weight and I'm seeing the doctor on the 16th. Hopefully once I get my fill, I'll start losing a little more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm waiting a full week to weigh again. Seems like that's what I'm dealing with. I gained a pound since surgery. This is so discouraging, but hopefully it gets better when I have my first fill.
