My first plateau - and it came too early!

I was banded the same day as you, lost 10 lbs pre-op, 15 post op, and nothing in the last 2 weeks also.

I am probably eating more than I should be, have not scheduled a fill yet but can't wait til I do.

I was banded on 12/9 and I'm in the same situation. I was losing good for 2 weeks, then nothing! I have been exercising and watching my calories but absolutely no change on the scale! Very frustrating! But despite what the scale says, I'm still going to eat better and continue working out! It HAS to go down eventually!! Hang in there ladies!!

People, people, people,

you my friends are in "bandster hell"......I journaled, that is why I continued to loose during this phase.....and I began an exercise regime....walking in the beginning just 30 min. a day, now at 5 months out I am walk jogging for 25-60 minutes a day and I'm damn near 50 years old. I have to say exercise is a very important key in loosing....don't subtract your calories either bank them.....What the hell does banking them mean, don't subtract them from your daily calorie total...just count on them to work.

Just stick to the plan, and if you are in "banster-hell" expect to eat every two hours...write everything down, and pickles and celery can really help for wanting to munch! I mix habanero sauce and plain mustard....kinda kicks my ass but i can munch all day with no regrets.....I urge you to journal!
