Two weeks out from surgery and have plateaued for a week, what the heck???

I am still on mushie foods. I started back on the treadmill and rowing machine two days ago and I started back on my outdoor walks today (short walk, but felt good).

I have not lost anything in a week!!!!!!!!! What could I possibly be doing wrong??? Did I make a mistake. Granted, I could not have lost the 15 pounds that I have lost without the band, but I am reading right and left about how much more everybody else seems to be losing.

I COULD JUST CRY!!!!!!!!! Help please, I need some support. :help::help::help:

Don't panic - you will have this type of situation until you have the correct fill level.

I lost alot in the first few week then it has been slow going since then, but I have never gained, so that it is good.

You could try to journal to make sure you are not eating too many calories but in general, it will be 'bandster hell" until that fill occurs.

BTW, I have had my third fill and still not at the sweet spot.

Even if your calories are in check, your body is probably trying to figure out what the heck just happened to it. Keep in mind that it's an average of 1 to 2 lbs per week lost normally, so, some weeks you'll lose more than that, and some weeks you'll lose less, but it'll balance out.

Be more patient with yourself :)

my doctor said im not even supposed to lose until after teh mushies are done because you cant really choose low cal foods too easily. just hang in there!
