Good Afternoon!!! I went to my dr last Thursday and they said Everything looked great! I was happy to hear that. Then they asked if I had hit a plateau yet in my weight and that it would happen more than likely before my first fill... And it happened grrr! I was wondering if anyone else has hit a plateau yet and if so how are you staying on track I get frustrated not seeing the scale go down as it was.

Yes I'm there also! I try to stay away from the scale and focus on the amount I'm eating and the weight will follow. Since I have had surgery I lost 12 lbs. 10 was the first week after surgery and 2lbs the second week and I'm going into the 3rd week and I havedn't seen the scale move. So I just said the heck with it and focus on eating correctly and hopefully when I weigh my self at the end of the week it will look better. Hang in there! My first fill won't be until June 27, I can't believe that I have to wait that long. My surgery was May 2 so that means I will have to do this on my own for 8 weeks. Did the doctor say when you would get your first fill?

My Dr. Says first 4-6 weeks is for healing -don't let it get to u. Maybe just consider it healing instead of a plateau.

My doctor said the exact same thing. I had lost 20lbs on the pre op diet.. I'm 11 days post op and have only lost 3lbs since I was banded. I guess I expected big numbers. But I'm trying to be realistic, avoid the scale and focus on learning to eat right for my band as opposed to a number.

I wish my doctor would have told me that. She did tell me that I might hit a spot in the road that I might put some weight back on, but I'm not going to let that happen.

It's a little frustrating but I'll make it through. I go for my first fill the beginning of June and I'm ready !
