Good Morning,

I had my surgery 2/13/12, and have been loosing steady ever since. Was never hungry, stuck the plan, never cheated, I felt great. Since Easter, I noticed that the scale stopped moving and that I am able and want to eat everything in sight. I even found myself reverting back to my old behaviors. It was like I woke up one morning and just let go of all the good habits I gained. I haven't gained any weight, but I am just hanging in limbo. I wasn't given a fill at my last appointment becasue I was loosing so much on my own, but now I am thinking it's time. Is this how it is when you need a fill? I never feel full anymore, I can eat anything and my "full" feeling is gone. I just wanted to get some input from people who have been there. Thank you!

P.S. I also haven't been excercinsing like I know I should, I just need a kick in the butt!

Yup sounds like you need a fill!

Good luck! :-)

Do you need a fill: probably. If you can't go 4.5-5 Hours after eating before you need to eat again you need a fill. You statement " I can eat anything" is one I hear to often on the board. The band is not intended to stop you from eating certain foods. It is meant to help you eat less off them. Yes I do have problems with raw carrot and cheap white bread. Everything else no. Do I wait to eat Breakfast because I am no a early morning person (have never eaten as soon as I got up)? Yes. So that means I don't have trouble eating my breakfast yogurt. Some, have trouble eating solids early morning once at restriction.

Small nag. Your body may have adjusted to it's new reality of less calories and without excerise may refuse to give up any more weight. I used to HATE, HATE, HATE swimming. I discovered a Water proof MP3 player which connects to your googles. What a difference that makes. I use a snorkle which makes swimming for those of us who are fabulous swimmers able to work out longer. Water aerobics is also really good. Talk with the instructor and they can tell you ways to make the work out harder; depending on your ability.
