Stuck... don't feel like progress....

I think I have hit a plateau, I have loss 40 lbs, and I haven't loss any more. I am really getting dicouraged. banded in 4/2007; I hadn't been able to get into my Dr. in 4 or 5 months witha  reschedule.... what did anyone do to get back ont rack and see losses again... is anyone feelin me on this. I thought I would be at least 100 lbs down by now, but guess not... helpful hints welcome.

Sorry about your plateau. I did not have the band but lisa should have some advise for you .

I am the queen of fills and  plateau The secret is finding the sweet spot with your band most lap banders who are slow losers are not very tight and eat way to much to lose. if u r eat more than 4 oz serving 3 times a dsay u r earing way to much food .. eating 1200 calories is not much food when u really look at it, I got metablosim moving with high intesity training. I was a slow loser tell i got another fill that would only allow me to eat 3 oz meal and increase my exercise to drop to 184. keep checking in will get u moving in right direction

you areright, i am eating about 8 oz of food. i really need a fill.  I was doing well until the last few months.  I am eaing more tha 1200 cal.  I really hope I can get into the dr. to get this taken care of very soon.  I am also getting back into the training, I glad you responded keep checking on me and I will keep checking in with you all. Thanks.Nisha 

 Everyone here on A team has been here to help us threw the hard time and  are here we we reach a milestone
That is what the tools is for is to be  tighten  more after we have lost more weight the fat around the band was lost during the intial  40 lbs  weight loss So i sure hope u can get in asap and continie your weight lost i had 7 fills tell my sweet spot  june on ward is when i lost majority of my weight loss.

Your part is regular apts with the doc and do not hesitiate to keep going back when u see your progress slow down
I bugged my doc tell i was just right.I hear alot of people are intimated by their doc to go in and ask for a fill which is why i picked a doc i could be open and honest with and i told him i am doing my part now do your part and he has been a great doc in the partner ship in my weight loss. My doc is proud of me.

Congradulations on your 40 pound weight loss I did not lose more than 10 at first
