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.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
