Hi all,

I'm just looking for a little support on here..

I had my Lap-Band on the 5th May 2015 and so far have lost around 32lbs - (rubbish I know)!!!

I'm really struggling now with my weight loss, it seems to have come to a stop? I'm following my diet plan religiously and going to the gym 4 times a week. I've had 2 fills already, currently have 4mls in my band. I really just don't know what to do for the best, I can't get to see my surgeon until October so worried that he will pick up on my little weight loss and think I'm not giving it my all.

Can anyone help?

Laura

I stalled at the 4 month mark for about 8 weeks! AND that was despite doing everything right - low carb, high Protein, high fibre, no junk, loads of Water....

You are stuck at 32 lbs gone... I was stuck at 40 pounds. Same thing, really...! (And not rubbish at all - great job!!!)

As you will read on this forum, stalls are normal. Just trust in the process and stick to the plan and the needle WILL start to move again!

To make you all feel better mine was on April. 1rst fill .5 started on May then none until July another .5 then starting in August I've been getting .5 biweekly I'm just feeling the diff where I have just lost additional 4 pounds. I do work out consistently

This last was only .3 I was the lowest weight for wls. Dr was being very careful with me.

Keep it up. Choose right choose Protein first eat green leafy veggies and sweet potatoe who is my fav carb choice

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
