Amoud 0 Posted May 7, 2008 Same thing happened to me, but when I stopped loosing weight I stopped loosing for more than a month!!! I had gotten down about 25 pounds or so and from March third until the first week of April I didnt loose a single pound. I upped my Protein in a major way I wasnt able to eat enough so Istarted on Protein shakes (from around 40gms to 80-90gms) and the weight started to come off again. It may be the Protein, it may not, we are all different but try playing with your diet a bit. Add more protein for a week or so, if it doesnt work try adding more fibre also. Congrats on the weight loss so far, keep me updated on your fills (I havent had one yet either so we should be sailing once we get some restriction). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
donnabarney 0 Posted May 12, 2008 you are doing great. get rid of the scale, muscle weights more than fat. you body is getting used to the band. I am trying to walk by the scale and pretend its not there. I am at a stall on the scale, but cloths are fitting better, (my pants fell off at work going down the stairs) I was embarred but happy. good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
willowcrown 1 Posted May 15, 2008 I have been away from the forum for a bit - working out takes like waaaay more time than I expected. lol (I hate every minute of working out - does anyone have a fix for that??? Acccck!) I have lost a couple of pounds, but now my "friend" is visiting so I might not lose much if anything this week. However, clearly my body is changing - my pants looked utterly ridiculous today and I almost killed myself coming down the stairs at work becuase the pants were slipping down around my hips. This made them too long and I got my feet caught in my own pantlegs! Good grief - embarrassing but funny. Anyway - I'm hoping things will change more drastically when I get my fill in two weeks. I'm pretty much able to eat larger amounts of food than I expect I should. Still haven't cheated but it sure gets pretty difficult sometimes. :party: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
