I havent lost in 2 or 3 weeks!



Recommended Posts

I am 7 weeks out and I was losing well at first and now I am at a stand still... I had a fill last week and I feel no different and my weightloss still is stalled... I believe I am eating right and I am going to the gym for 2 hours 5 times a week.... :-( Is this bandster hell and will my weight loss start going again?

Often, it takes several fills to reach restriction. Chances are this fill is not going to affect you. I would make another fill appointment as soon as your Dr allows. This is indeed bandster hell, but you are nearing the end of it!!!:whoo:

Thanks for the reply.

I have a fill already scheduled for Nov 23rd... That was the soonest they could get me in... (not too far away) I was just hoping to continue losing...

I found that I lost week 1-3 post op and then stalled. Week 6 I got a fill and started loosing again. I think it also depends upon the size of your fill too. I had 1cc put in a 4cc band and am definately restricted.

Weird. I am 7 weeks out, Got a 1CC fill in the AP standard (not sure the size I am assuming 10cc since it already had 3cc) Maybe it takes a couple weeks for some to feel the fill?

Wow, you sound just like me, I was banded 8/29/07 and lost 15 lbs the first 2 weeks(of course only having liquids will do that to you) then nothing. so I went for a fill of 1cc in my 3.5 cc band 1 month post op, then lost another 5 lbs. Then..... NOTHING!!!!!!! I am so frustrated, I exercise 90 minutes daily for 5 days out of the week, and watch what I eat. So I will have another fill in 2 days, I hope it works. I know I am doing OK.... but I want to do better. Wish me Luck, and good luck to you all too. Aloha

      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.
