I had my first fill about a month ago and although I know the first fill really doesn't do much, is it normal to not lose any weight? I get another fill a week from tuesday but am freaking out that I haven't lost anything... before the fill when I was on liquids and even before the band (just dieting for pre op weight loss) I was able to lose something (from then till before fill its about 40lbs) . Is this a plateau that I have hit? I'm also confused as my clothes have dropped another size since my fill ... so it doesnt make sense that I haven't lost a pound. Any help would be really great, thank you!

(One last thing, does stress affect anything? This past month has been a really awful one so I don't know if that has anything to do with it X_X)

If your clothes are down another size, something is happening. Hang in there!

Firstly, stress absolutely can affect things. In many different ways, as everyone id affected by it differently.

It wasn't until my second or third fill that I really started loosing. Hang in there... it will happen.

That you have lost a dress size is great! You must be keeping up with exercise. Which means that you are replacing fat with muscle, so you are losing weight. Muscle weighs more than fat though... so that could be it.

Finally, sure, this may be a plateau. My longest one was about three months. It sure was hard to get through, but I just kept at it knowing if I did eventually the scale would reflect what was really going on inside me.

You are doing fine... just keep your eyes on the prize and you will make it!
