Restriction but not losing

[CarlaG 0]

I had my 3rd fill in July but over the last month I have only lost 3 lbs but most of the time I feel like I have restriction. I do notice that I can eat more than when I originally had the fill but I am not feeling any hunger. I also have a tendency to get stuck every few days (don't always PB but sometimes I do).

Should I go for another fill? Have any of you experienced this and waited it out?

I already feel like I don't eat hardly anything and I'm worried that if I get another fill I will have alot more problem getting stuck.

I'm feeling a little depressed right now because I just spoke to the doctor at my visit in August and told him I was shooting for being 199 by January 1. It sure isn't going to happen if it takes a month to lose 3 lbs:frown:

I think the doctor will probably ask exactly what you are eating. Remember eating to little will but the body in starvation mode and there goes your weight loss. I haven't been great since my last fill but definately will watch how I am eating now. I am going to make more of an effort to plan my meals and prepare some in advance.

I agree with Sue. Honestly, you may not be eating enough. Are you logging your food intake on fitday or dailyplate? You may be surprised to find you are eating less than 1200 calories a day. :thumbup:

I do think that is part of it but I really do not feel any hunger at all. When I do PB it is always after I have not eaten in a long time. The doctor doesn't understand why that is happening but when I don't eat every 3 hours or so, when I do finally eat my stomach cramps up and I end up getting stuck.

It is just really hard to eat when you don't feel hungry. I really thought with this surgery food would no longer be my life, but it really still is about food. Now it is just making sure to get enough and the right things.

It also doesn't help that I work shift work and am constantly changing my sleep and eating habits.:thumbup:

Carli,

I can so sympathize with you and shift work. I work anywhere from 3am to 10am get of at 12 noon to 7pm. It is HELL on the body.
