I seem to be stuck at one weight and not moving at all. I am exercising, making the right food choices, and yet the scale is not moving at all. I am getting very discouraged and disappointed. I am also getting tired of eating the same things, even when I try new recipes. I have no idea what to do now since I have come this far - lost almost 40 lbs. I don't have an appointment to get a fill for another 2 weeks. Help!

Thank you for your reply, and congratulations on your successful weight loss! Your kind words of support really help me stay motivated and on track. After I left his office, I felt almost set up for failure since I didn't really understand completely how the band works. I wanted it to do all the work for me, always. Which I realize was unrealistic since I need to continue on after the weight loss is reached and make my own choices and not rely on restriction. I have also read that it is a fine line between the band working well and being too tight. The doctor said he would be afraid to give me a fill this time because he might cause an obstruction and be too tight. I am glad for his decision now and thankful for wonderful people on this website. Thank you.
