Hi all:

I was banded on April 30th and I was at 268 and I am now 251, I have lost 17lbs. I have been on a plateau for over a week, anyone had this problem? I don't get my first fill until June 21st seems like forever.

Someone out there let me know I am not the only one that has had a plateau. Look forward to hearing from you.

WOW congrats! and my question.... how many sizes have you dropped? My guess is that you are one compact dynamo packed with muscle....

Since you are training for a marathon you will need more calories than I do....

I am mainly trying to cut the junk out.. which has been my biggest downfall as of late (and for months really)

Waves to all,

Well I just got back from my Doctor and free fills. It's my bandaversiary and I found out I've lost the national AVERAGE...that sucks!!

I was doing sooo well but haven't lost more than a pound a month for 4 months.

Soooo, I'm here to kick start myself back into losing mode!!

I've pulled out my little plate, one cup bowl and small fork.

NOOOOOOOO grazing

NOOOOOOOO ice cream or comfort food

More Protein

More bites and chewing

O.K......let the game begin!!!!!!!!!! Putting on my game face :tt2:

on a stall now but i am not getting in enought of protien working on it now,,

Hi everyone...this is like going to my first AA meeting! lol

hi, my name is Tracy and I am at a plateau

OK...lol

In my defense, I quit smoking on March 15th and have gained some but am losing what I gained...so is that considered a stall?

Anyone intresting in a lap band support group where we can chat about it? I go to the chat room here but it is not the same mostly about newbies and fill questions. U can IM me at butterfly_lisa2001 Yahoo, I think daily checking in is the key to sucess during a platues.

Hello,

I'm not on a plateau right now. I have been in thpast. Right now I am steadily losing but at a slower pace than I would really like to. My last 2 visits to the Doctors has resulted in me not getting a fill. He likes how I'm losing and thinks I'm at a comfortable spot. However this next monday when I go in I don't think it's going to be so good. I've been eating like I need to store up for the winter.

The last plateau I had mad me want to pull my hair out. I kept thinking, why did I put myself through surgery and everything else just to stay at one weight. If I remember correctly it lasted about five weeks before I started losing again. And it just wasn't the weight that was coming off, it was also the inches. I think I was more excited about that. My clothes fit so much better.

The biggest thing I learned through that was to just wait. It will end and I will be back to losing again. I need to give my body time to figure out what is going on and let it adjust.

Hang in there, it will all work out.
