Ok, so I've been plateaued (again) the last couple of weeks and I've figured out, by going back to my logs, that I lose for three weeks then plateau for about two and a half. Also noticed I'm really really tired right before I come out of a plateau. I'm also cancelling my fill appt for this Friday cause I still can't eat more than about 3/4 cup before I'm full.

On the website, also, if you create a login (no charge for this) and use the coupon number APBB429 you will get the $50 off, plus another $10, for a total price of $189! I found this out by accident!

elyse: i'm sorry you've plateaued, but i'm glad you were able to discover why! i'm going to look back through my stuff and see if i see anything in mine, too. Maybe that can help you to figure out a way to kick-start the wt loss again!

Good luck to you!

I'm not sure there is a reason. I think it's just a natural cycle for me, and quite a few others, maybe. I asked my Dr about it last month when I was there and he said it was, that my body has to 'realign' itself. It can be frustrating, although it didn't seem to bother me as badly this time around, since I was expecting it. I'm still losing 10 lbs a month, which was my goal all along. And, when I got on the scale this morning, I'm down two pounds, so I must be coming off it.

10 LBS a month is great! I'm hoping to get there now that i'm doing the C25K program! Take care!

good morning everyone. just wanted to check in. i had my 4th post op/fill appt yesterday. i've lost 13lbs since my last appointment 5 weeks ago and i am very excited about it. my doctor was reluctant to give me any additional restrction and i wasnt 100% sure that i needed any either, but after a long discusion we agreed that a very small addition would be appropriate (.5) and we'd see what happens.

I know I have read this topic on the forum in the past, but I have to share my experience. This has been the first time that during my TOM I have experienced tight restriction. I haven't been able to get anything but liquids down since I started. So...in addition to my cramps and irritability...I can't eat! I am not complaining because this is the first time I have lost weight during my TOM!

How much is your doc putting in for a fill? Mine only does 1/2cc at a time.

It varies. She has put in as much as 1.5 (which was LOVELY), but she has never given me more than that and that amount it took 3 fills to work up to. I have read post where people where getting up to 3cc's at a time though.

My band is a 10cc band. 3cc's was put in during surgery. 1st fill I got was 2cc 6 weeks after surgery. Since then I have had about 5-6 fills/unfills. As of today I have 6.75cc's in my band and I'm at a great spot. Hopefully it will last a while like this.

I've got a 10cc band. No fill at all until 8 weeks after surgery. and he put 2 cc's in then. Since then, I've had 3 fills with each being 1/2cc. I really need some help. Hope next weeks fill does better. Thanks

      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.
