No weigt loss in over 3 months



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 05/06/08 and lost 70 lbs in the first seven months but none since. I have 3 cc's in a 10cc band and have an appt in a couple of weeks...I usually cannot eat anything until after 10 am having my coffee first or else things will get stuck. I am following the rules but getting discouraged, do I need a fill or has other people hit this plateau? Thanks!

A lot of us find our bands are tighter in the morning. Usually if you drink a cup of coffee or tea first thing and eat a hot meal, that will relax it a bit for you. 3 ccs in a 10 cc band means you have a lot of potential for further restriction. How long since your last fill? It sounds like you need a fill to me.

Dont get too discuraged. I went throught a peroid of over 4 months where I lost less that 10 pounds. I was doing everything right. I was getting VERY upset that the waigt wasn't comming off. Then all of a sudden I lost 8 lbs in 1 month. I think it just depends on your body. Most people hit a platuo and get stuck for a while. But it wont last forever. Just keep doing what your suppoes to and the weigt WILL come off.

Have you tried the 5 day pouch test? I can't recommend it enough, it was the only thing that got the scale moving again for me. I'm sure you're probably in need of another fill, but this is a great tool I'm going to keep in my back pocket when I hit the dreaded plateau.

All of the info you need for the 5 day pouch test is here. Some people think you need to order the book, but you don't, all of the details are on the website.

Good luck & congrats on your amazing progress!

      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.
