nursejess 0 Posted April 1, 2009 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
want_so_bad 0 Posted April 1, 2009 i was that way too. liquid only each morning. mine used to last until noon or so. oh how i miss that! lol. are you following the rules but eating more? has your exercise changed? have you tried changing up what you do or the amount of calories for a few days? i know i have read lots and lots of threads where people suggest this. good luck!

ParrotheadCathy 0 Posted April 1, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meme337z 0 Posted April 1, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kagoscuba 0 Posted April 1, 2009 Have you tried changing up your exercise schedule? That always seems to do the trick for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cristina 0 Posted April 1, 2009 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
