7 Months Post Lap Band Surgery - At a Plateau

Hi there. I am now 7 months post surgery and have lost 35 lbs. However, I have been at the same weight for the last month or 2 even though I am following all instructions. I have had all of my fills, and even had to get my last one let out a little as I was getting sick often. I exercise regular and have been eating what was suggested by my doctor. Has anyone else experienced this or does anyone have any suggestions on how to get past this plateau?

I am also suffering with a plateau at around the 7th month mark. Banded Dec. 27, 2010 and have to date lost around 70 lbs. However, for the past month (if not a bit more) I have gone up and down with 10 lbs and don't know what to attribute it to. I am not perfect in my eating or exercise but in my opinion I really think there just comes a point where your body needs to "catch up" with weight loss? I am super frustrated and in turn am making bad descision which is not helping. I scheduled myself for a fill for next week in hopes of kick-starting the weight loss again....

Yea that sounds very familiar! I too am not making the best decisions 100% of the time, but overall am really following the instructions. I have only lost 35 lbs - 70 lbs is great! Congrats! My issue though is that I had a fill of 6 cc but was getting sick quite often. So they let out .5 cc so now I am at 5.5. I don't think I can go back to 6 as I was scared to eat since I was getting sick pretty often. But I don't feel like I'm at the fullest I should be either since I am not totally satisfied after I eat... Ugh. Makes me feel better to know that someone else is experiencing the same thing. It's like a 7 month curse!
