This month I quit losing weight. I haven't gained. It's bringing me down a little.

How long do you give your plateau before you get another fill?

Is your surgeon stingy with fills? Mine won't give you one until you aren't losing 10 pounds a month. The problem is that they take your weight the last time you were in and divide that by how many months since your last fill. If you look at it that way, I've lost more than 10 pounds per month. BUT I HAVEN'T. I haven't lost any in weeks.

Is this normal? Will it start dropping again by itself without a fill?

I'm unsure what to do.:faint:

derbygirl...probably not that encouraging but for me i tried changing my diet a tad...sometimes just changing a few things that you have been eating can make ALL the difference. I pretty much have a fill every 3 months. loosing or not...but changing my diet a tad usually helps get over the plateau...

Hi Derbygirl Im 11months post op and I dont have a fill and Im still losing. What I learned so far change of stereotype helps. So try to change what you eat. I switched from dark bread for breakfast to sweet breakfasts cause it starts up your metabolism.Also dont be afraid of sugars...piece of dark chocolate 50%cocoa and above in the morning or latest the 2 p.m. helped me a lot! Since I started eating sugars in the morning I have to eat evry 2-3 hours, it might be unforcomtable, but its a sighn that your metabolism is working well.

Just my two cents:-)

Good luck to you.

It really depends on the individual. I tend to wait 2 weeks without losing before scheduling a fill. You do have to be honest with yourself though and be sure that it's not poor food choices and lack of activity that is causing you to keep the weight on. If you've been making all of the right choices and still not losing, then go for the fill. The tool can't work if you don't set it properly.

Mine does fills every 2 weeks until you get to optimal fill level. Good luck.

Usually when you go for a few weeks without losing it is time for a fill. Everyone is different though and each of us needs to make sure we are eating like a bandster with protein first.
