So I was banded May 11th and have lost 17 lbs from my highest weight. Ever since I started my pureed stage my weight has stayed the same. I'm eating 3oz for Breakfast, lunch, and dinner (eggs, egg salad, tuna salad, chicken breast). Plus I'm having my Protein shakes in between. When I'm not eating or having a shake, I either drink Water or tea. I had my period this week and haven't been going to the bathroom regurlary if you know what I mean. Any suggestion?

Only went to the gym twice so far this week. My allergies are kicking my ass and I feel like crap.

i hope someone can give us some insight on this cuz i fear that very thing. i was banded on the 20th, lost 15 pounds since may 6th and my fear is that my body is so used to liquids only that introducing foods will cause it to hold on to it, even if it's healthy food.

It is very common for weight loss to stall when you start adding food (even mushies) back into your diet. Don't let it get you down...just keep following your surgeon's instructions and you will start losing again (my stall lasted about 2 weeks).

I agree with vickyd; the slow down is normal. Oh, and you can try Miralax if you're irregular; mixes completely into any drink (not chunky or chalky) and normally works for me within 12-24 hours. Hope that helps!

I lost the same amout of weight in liquid phase. I stopped loosing for 2 weeks and a half after. It just started again, i am 5 week post up and lost another 4 pounds. Its normL, plus take your mesurment, your body is still changing.

Same here! In fact the week I started back on food, I gained 5 lbs. Don't worry. Your body will adjust and you'll start losing again.

I slowed down my weight loss too, it happens just keep following the diet as your Dr told you. As someone told me the first six weeks you are still healing so dont concentrate too much on the numbers. I know easier said than done. Still with me I noticed I wouldnt have drop anything especially on my period but then all of a sudden I will drop a pound or two. Your body has a lot going on and you are not going to get rid of all your weight in a few weeks but if you look at the ave for all the weeks your banded its a lot really in a short time.

I don't get a fill until week 6. Besides drinking shakes, I only drink Water or decaf tea. we'll see what happens. Can't wait to get a fill, maybe that will help andof course get walking more.
