I've stopped losing weight! Anyone else having troubles???

Well I did real good the first 2 months. But within the past couple of weeks I haven't lost anything. I haven't gain either, but I just had my 2nd fill a week ago and it didn't seem to help that much. I'm going back in on Jan. 3rd for my 3rd fill. I would like to go on liquids for a few weeks to see what will happen. Anyone else having troubles?

Melissa, Have you talked to your surgeon? Or your dietician? They should be able to provide some good insight for you. I didn't have the Lapband, so I can't give you specific help. I wish I could! Good luck and know that we all have experienced stalls and they are sooo frustrating! Keep doing what you are supposed to be doing, follow up with your surgeon and dietician and the weight will begin to come off again when your body adjusts. One thing I noticed is that when I am not losing weight, I am losing inches. Have you measured yourself? Keep your chin up!! Kari Ware Over the Rainbow OKC Support Group

When I hit my first plateu, I was told that it could be my body just "catching up". You could use this as a moment to look at what you have/haven't been eating to see what you could change. Also, remember if your body feels that you are starving it, it will go into starvation mode & try to hold on to weight as a defense mechanism. Make sure you discuss this with the appropriate member of your medical team if it is a concern for you, though!!!

Hello again. Well I went and got my 3rd fill today. And it is a lot better. I will be on soft foods for a while. I can not wait until Spring to get out and walk in the fresh air. I hope everyone's doctor is as nice as mine. I go back to see him on Valentine's Day. Hope everyone has a great New Year!
