When I had my surgery I lost a lot of weight in a very short period of time and am now at the point where I am experimenting with fills and have hit a plateau. I lose about 3 lbs over the five day week, and then gain 3 lbs. over the weekend over and over and am so tired of it!! I am walking 2-3 miles almost every day and am trying to make good food choices but I do count calories on myfitness pal. It just seems like every weekend there is an event and I go a little crazy like an alcoholic in a bar. I can't just stay home but it seems home is the only place I am in control. Ugh sorry, I just had to vent.

According to your profile, you've been banded since March of this year...so like 5 months?

I'd suggest you are doing the right thing by "experimenting with fills"...getting your band properly adjusted. Then it will help with those weekends where there is an event and you go a little crazy. You seem to have done a very good job at dieting the past few months! Congrats! Just keep following up with your surgeon, discussing your eating habits/hunger/portion sizes, etc. He/she will know what to do. Best wishes for your continued success.

Hang in there, it will pass. There are aps to log activity and food intake. Watch what you eat.

I hit a plateau and met with a trainer and he said to do more cardio. At least 30 mins, but go for 45 mins. If you're doing that, increase it more. Also add some kind of strength training. That makes a huge help because it burns fat in your resting state.

I avoided some events when I thought I couldn't control myself, or if they just had crap food. For me, there will be other events in the future I can go to when I'm stronger. Which I have only become. I get sick of the thought of Sri king anything but Water or Protein shakes, I don't mind turning crap down now, mainly because that is how I got heavy. Little steps, become huge achievements. You can do it!

Good luck. Hang in there.
