Why am I not losing weight? Banded 5 months ago.

Yes I do drink lots of Water - I love Lemon-Lime Crystal Light and drink at least 4-5 bottles of Water a day.

I had another fill today so I'm sticking to liquids tomorrow but after that I'm going to try eating low-carb. My fill doctor also suggested I follow a modified Atkins plan.

I'll be sure to follow-up next week and let you all know if it's working.

Oh geez - Does this mean no mashed potatoes on Christmas??? I love mashed potatoes and gravy, and stuffing, and pie, sigh....

Not sure, I think it depends. I'm a mega carb addict, if I eat a little I am toast for the rest of the day. I'm hungry and turn into a big fat couch slug. It takes me about three days to get back into the swing of things.

If you are like that I would suggest staying away from the potatoes, etc. However, if you are a person that can eat it today and not struggle to stop eating it tomorrow I would say go for it.

We aren't on a diet here, we are struggling to eat like normal people. Normal people eat mashed potatoes, dressing, etc. on holidays. If you can eat it for one day and go back to better food choices the next day then have at it. My opinion only.

I agree Wasabb - this is not a diet - the is a lifetime lifestyle change of bad eating habits - What I strive for is to eat healthy 98% of the time and IMHO that is what healthy thin people do - In the past we ate UNHEATHLY 98% of the time - this is what got up to where we are - so ya - have a treat eat some mash potatoes - gravy - and not the whole pot just 1 serving and the next day go back to good healthy food choices

You may not be eating ENOUGH! believe it or not. My body doesn't lose unless I eat 1500-1600 calories.

Also try eating a heartier Breakfast to jump start the metabolism and eat small Snacks in between meals to keep the fuel going throughout the day. Bump up the exercise as you can and surely you will start losing.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
