I am in the same boat. I was banded on 03/05/2008. I have not lost a single pound in over 2 months. It is driving me crazy. I know I have lost some inches, but I am ready to have to buy clothes again. I hate going to the doc for my fills b/c It looks like I am not trying. I have a realize band with 5cc in it and I can barely tell there is any restriction. :eek:

It is truly fustrating, I thought i would at least lose 8-10 pounds a month, now I'd be happy with 1! nothing just fricking stinks, I had such high hopes when I had this done, now its come crashing down:thumbs_down: its just not right, I am afraid to go for a fill, I am afraid what my doctor will say, I am sure he will say its my fault, he is very hard to talk too, all he keeps saying is 1/2 teacup 3 times a day! Ya well its not working 1/2 teacup or not!!!

I plateaued for 7 months. I joined Weight Watchers 1 week ago and lost 5 lbs my first week. I follow the core program which is high Protein, fruit and vegies. I get approximately 3k calories a week extra for alcohol or whatever. I really like the program and it works. You should give it a try if you are plateaued. How many calories a day do you eat?

i am so sorry, lulubrat, and i feel for you. have you ever had your thyroid checked? i am not losing and it may be due to my thyroid -- they put me on meds recently but it has been hard to regulate and is still slow. i hope you find a solution because i know how very frustrating and demotivating this can be. keep us posted!

I am so understanding your pain.... I went today and got my second fill... my band came with a fill of 3cc's in it the 1stone i got was 2cc's and the one i got today was 1cc... Now I am still at the same weight i was the last time i went in and i know it looks like i am not trying but i am... this crap is so crazy becasue they look at u like yeah ok...... but i asked my Dr. how many fills do people normally get and he said when people get around 7 or 8 they are good and that will last

Well since I have no weight loss for 3 months, I am going to change things up, yet again, I am going to try liquids with only one meal a day, what does everyone think, or has anyone tried that? my liquid will be a Atkins protien drink, and my meal will be protien and veggies.

Certainly sounds like you should be losing. Could you be holding Water? Everything you are eating except the egg is high in salt. Good luck hope it changes soon.

Wow i wish my eating was this good..... uhh i would try adding about 200-more calories for about 3 to 4 days then take it back down for 3 to 4 and repeat... it sounds like your body is use to getting the same thing and u are in a platu.... like for example eate some nuts... cashews or roasted peanuts or something, something that will give u the good fats and see what happends from there and let me know if this works....

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
