Tight but not losing weight



Recommended Posts

I was banded back in May 2006 and to date have lost nearly 4 stone. My last fill was back in jan last year and have been what I think at my best restriction without it being too tight. At certain times of the day it is very tight and I do PB but........The amount of food I am having seems to be enough to maintain my weight. If I cut down I feel light headed and sick. I dont think I need another fill cos it will be too tight all the time but I'm not losing any more weight.

Is there anything anyone knows that would kick start the weight loss again?

I assume you are exercising, if not that will help. Maybe change the type of exercise you are doing. Count calories... I know when I count mine I find I am eating way too much. I'm not losing much at all because my restriction is still too low. I'm going to try going on Protein Shakes for a couple of days to see if it helps. Anyway good luck.

I eat 1k calories a day now. I no longer drink beer. I do a 7 minutes muscle and muscle fitness video daily and I have lost 1.5 lbs this week so far. How many calories a day are you consuming? Are you exercising?

You don't say anything about the types of food you're eating. You can be very tight, eat only heavy cream, and not lose weight. Please post a sample week's menu including your Water intake and exercise routine.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
