Stopped Loosing Weight



Recommended Posts

I have last a total of 40 lbs since I was banded March 16, 2008, and am very happy with my results. Everyone around me has noticed that I am happier, more outgoing, and I am spending more "quality" time with my kids. I have tried to stay away from the scale, but seem to jump on it almost daily. Most of the time there is some degree of weight lost, but for the last couple of weeks I am standing still. I have cut out carbs, working out, everything, but can't seem to get to the next pound. Has anyone else experienced this, and what did you do to continue to loose the weight? Thanks for your input!!

Congratulations on your weight loss! My weight loss seems to come in fits and starts. After a fill I will lose pretty well and then everything just stops until I get another fill. I think I may not be a steady loser. I haven't figured out how to jump start it yet. Good luck.

Start measuring...I lost about 45 lbs and stopped losing. Got very discouraged so I measure now. Lose a little here and a little there. I really need a fill though. Don't be discouraged, sometimes our bodies need to cathc up to the weight loss. We have to pop back together and all...

I was banded in November 2007 and immendiately lost 25 pounds before I had my first fill. I have had 3 fills and have lost a total of 34 pounds. It is a bit frustrating but I know it was the right decision and as much as would like to see it just fall off I know it needs to be a slow process. The one thing I have experienced also is that my neighbors, both the husband and wife, had gastric bypass and I see their immediate results (Husband 110 pounds and wife 95 pounds) and they had their procedure only 2 months ahead of me. You just have to remain focused on your goals and drive forward. Drink your Water and walk,walk,walk and walk.

      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.
