Weighloss at a screeching HALT!

[finallythin@34 0]

My weighloss have come to a drastic halt since my last fill. I have no idea why!? I'm eating relatively the same way and exercising the same way. I've only lost 2 lbs since my last fill and I typically lose at least 10 lbs a month! I go back for my next fill on 11/15 and I really wanted to be down to 227 but I'll be lucky to be down to 237! I really could use some ideas on how to jump start my weightloss again. My hubby thinks the doc didn't give me a fill but let some out just to fool me. On Sunday I felt like I could eat the house out of food and I haven't felt that way since before I was banded!

Any ideas???

I feel the same way you do and have been in this place before. I go back and review my food journal and do what I was doing to loose the weight. That have meant nothing but Protein for 2 weeks or strickly veggies. Remember to drink,drink, drink. Hope this helps.

Are you drinking enough Water? That will make a big difference.

I hadn't really thought about Water. I try and drink, drink, but I'm sure I can cram more in. I have trouble eating Breakfast. I have never ever been a real breakfast eater and I did pretty well the first 2 months after the band at eating breakfast. Perhaps I need a Protein boost in the morning along with more water- I'll try that. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I found that once I hit that 50lb mark, my losses screeched to a halt too. It only lasted a couple of weeks then it started coming off again at a good clip! I think A LOT of people hit a plateau of sorts at the 50lb mark. Our bodies are just adjusting to the radical change

Yep, boost that Water intake and add some Protein. Also, maybe shake up your exercise routine a bit.

You'll be losing again soon...hang in there

Finallythin,

You have got some great advice - breakfast with Protein, more Water & try switching up your workout. Try doing something different, adjusting the intensity or adding more weights - I'm not sure what you are currently doing. Most importantly, don't be discouraged you'll be back on the "losing" side soon.
