Do you think this will work

i guess it was a shock to lose 10 lbs in pre oop week and then the rest the following week. Now i am up to losing nothing at all and i am so frustrated. I eat right i excercise. Its putting me back into my depression and i do not want to go back there. Then ill start with chocolate cake and ice cream and all that crap. I have been so good i have used sugar free pudding for those times i need it. Still no lost weight.

How long have you been banded? Are you saying you lost 27 lbs. in two weeks? 10 pre-op and then 17 the next (going by your ticker)?

That is a big loss. If so, I'd not be surprised if you went into a plateau after a loss like that.

If your surgery was just recently, your body is still healing and adjusting. Give it some time. You are doing the right things. Watching your diet and exercising. It will show up eventually.

When I was actively losing, my weight would go down 3 lbs one week, up 1, down 2, stable for 2 weeks, up 1, down 2, stable for 3 weeks, down 3 lbs, up 2 lbs, and on and on. It was never steady losses from week to week. Frustrating yes, but once I realized it was the way my body lost, I was ok with it. And over the course of two years, I was down 70 lbs.

Give yourself a break, and try not to turn to food for comfort.
