Feeling down-no real weight loss this week



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 8/25/11 and had my first fill last Friday 10/7/11. I weigh myself every Friday (same scale and time) and I thought for sure I'd lose a few pounds (my goal is 1-2) a week and I don't have much weight loss this week. (.5 lbs) I haven't felt the restriction, I still can eat whatever I've been losing because of eating healthier and exercising. This week, I did about the same with food and have upped my exercise to 20 min/1 mile on my treadmill on a 2.0 incline and added in 5 lb weights . I know I need to just keep on doing what I'm doing and believe in myself. I just need to vent with people that can understand. :(

We don't always lose every week and you actually did!!! It is so important to just keep watching what you eat and exercise. It will come off! Don't get discouraged! Have a wonderful weekend! :)

Thank you for the picker upper! I feel lots better after taking a long walk. You are correct we don't always lose I just thought I worked my butt off this week. Thanks again!

same happens to me. it's always stop and go! but i've been working out a lot and can feel it in my clothes. the pounds are holding on for dear life, but if you keep it up they'll eventually fall away. good job on the .5 ! :)

Thank you. I have lost 18.5 lbs since having surgery. I have gone down one dress size, I just thought the fill would have given me an "extra" boost. I've read lots that it can take up to the 3rd fill to actually feel restriction. I just have to keep at it. I guess I was a bit spoiled by losing anywhere from 1-3 lbs weekly and then this .5, wasn't really expecting that at all. Thanks again, I knew my lap band friends would understand.

after my second fill, it took a few weeks before i started to really feel the restriction. and i know the same goes for lots of people. so you might need to just give it a little time. or hey, go in for another fill, soon! that's why we have the thing... to choke us when we feel like gorging on bread. lol

You know, now that you mention it. I was having my lunch (chicken, broccoli, & cheese) and I had to throw 1/2 of it away (although I hate throwing food away, that "WAS" my problem, instead of throwing it away I would just eat it) I felt really full and had to go out for a walk. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping the restriction kicks in. And on the other hand, I see my dr in 5 more weeks. He told me to see him in 6 weeks, I was hoping more for 4 weeks. But that's how my dr/ins works. Have a great weekend!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
