Plateau or is a fill needed?



Recommended Posts

Ok...I am almost 7 weeks out. I had a 3.55cc fill, in a 10cc band about 2 weeks ago. I have not lost weight in over a week. In fact I am up 1.5 pounds. I have gone back to LOTS of Protein and Water. I am taking my Vitamins and staying active. I have also tried eating more on one day, less on the next to keep my body guessing. I am hungry, but trying to stay the course. Could I already plateauing??? Or does the weight just stop once you need a fill? I REALLY, REALLY don't want to fail.:lol:

Well in my case(EVERY BANDSTER IS DIFFERENT) if im on a plateau for to long and i have tried looking at my diet and bandster rules... and exercise... then i definitely need a fill (especially since your feeling hungry all the time)

Make sure your getting your Protein in as well.

But from what it sounds like you probably need a fill...

(p.s. i was in the same situation after my first fill i got 3.5cc's as well)

:smile:Good Luck N don't get discouraged.You are doing great! :tongue:

what kind of quantity are you able to eat at one time? I base it on how much I'm eating at once and if I stay full or not till the next meal.

I dont think not losing or even gaining in one week is cause for alarm. Some people will not lose for 2-3 weeks and then in one week lose 6 lbs. I know because this happens to me a lot. Also hormones and Water retention can affect it. Everyones body is different and until you give yours time to show some sort of pattern I wouldn't freak out. **Work out** and eat healthy foods and your body will do the rest.

Keep an eye on your food intake and fill needs too. In the beginning I went in about every 4-6 weeks for a fill until I got to a point that I can eat enough for nutrition but not enough to say eat a cheeseburger.

If you are hungry and you are sure its not head hunger then EAT just eat things that are good for you, solid Proteins are great Snacks because they keep you full longer.

And again... work out. Lift weights. Walk. Run. Whatever it is you like to do or can tolerate and DO IT on a consistent basis. You will see a difference!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
