So I have lost about 50 pounds…I received the lap band 1/9/12 and I have not had a fill but the last 2 weeks I have not really lost any weight. I am not eating anymore than before and am eating very similarly. Is this just my body plateuing? Is my body just trying to adjust to my weight loss so far? I just feel very disappointed(in myself). I know I have come along way since the beginning but I just don’t wanna stop losing. I go to the gym 4-5 times a week for an hour –hour and half so I just don’t know if its I need a fill even though I don’t feel like im eating more than a cup per meal.

I have heard that at some point you need to shake things up with exercise especially. It's great you work out so much! Maybe you need to change up your routine and start adding Zumba or a spin class into the mix, just for a jump start.....?

Yes, your body is adjusting. You have lost a ton of weight already and your body's probably thinking, "Holy moly! What's going on here? Is she trying to starve us to death? How can we stop this weight loss? OK, metabolism, you slow down right this minute! Take as long as you want to burn those calories she's eating. The longer the better..."

Please don't feel disappointed in yourself. Everybody hits plateaus sooner or later no matter how hard they're working at healthy eating and exercise. If you're not eating more than you were before, you don't need a fill quite yet.

Hang in there!

I don't know what you are doing at the gym for a workout but you could be gaining muscle weight.

Nothing! You can't spot reduce. You can work lower ab muscles and make them stronger but you can't force your body to loose weight in one area.

Belly fat can be helped with aerobic exercise, like you're doing. Keep at it. I can vouch that this is true- two years ago I went on a crazy low calorie, exercise (running) heavy diet. My lowest weight from that period is also my lowest weight now, but my waist has 4 extra inches than before. I am going to get back into running soon.

Suggestion. My trainer taught me to do cardio last.

      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.
