at a stand still



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I had my lapband surgery on May 19th, 06 as of today i've lost 20 lbs.

I haven't gain any back. But my scale doesn't want to move any more lower than that mark which has been that way for a week. I try to walk and now i'm back at work, i have a date for my first fill on July 17th.

Has anyone had this problem?

Hi,

I had my band on April 28th and go for my first fill on Monday. I have more or less not lost since getting mine either. However, I am not upset by that as I spend a great deal of time reading these boards. What we are both experiencing does not appear to be all that unusual. Many people say they experience no loss, or even gain, prior to getting filled. And, for many, it take as many as 2 to 3 fills before they reach their "sweet spot" and begin seeing any significant loss.

Let us know how things go once you have that first fill, and good luck to you.

Yep, been there done that. I was at a stand still after getting my band and then a few months later for about 3 months. Walking is what really kick started my wl again. Keep your head up and walk it off.:clap2: :clap2:

hey there is hope for all of you! I had this same problem at about 6 months. I felt like I was saying I had lost the same amount of weight too many times and the number never changed. I became discouraged and GAINED 10 POUNDS! I think people just get used to the fact that they have it, and slip a little into their old habbits. Just keep up your physical activity and try to experiment with what you are eating.

But I am down the 10 and than some. I am living proof that this works :] So keep your chin up.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
