Well it has been 3 months and I have not dropped a pound, I have increased my calorie intake, I have decreased, I walk everyday I workout I work, I just don't know anymore!! I have tried everything to lose, and nothing, what the?? I even tried really low carb, nothing! yes I have lost inches, but that stopped to nothing in over 2 months, anyone out there havng same prob?:biggrin:

I just posted that I was banded in the beginning of May have had two fills and absolutely no restriction. Sooo frustrating. Hope things pick up for all of us.

I am in the same boat. I was banded on 03/05/2008. I have not lost a single pound in over 2 months. It is driving me crazy. I know I have lost some inches, but I am ready to have to buy clothes again. I hate going to the doc for my fills b/c It looks like I am not trying. I have a realize band with 5cc in it and I can barely tell there is any restriction. :eek:

It is truly fustrating, I thought i would at least lose 8-10 pounds a month, now I'd be happy with 1! nothing just fricking stinks, I had such high hopes when I had this done, now its come crashing down:thumbs_down: its just not right, I am afraid to go for a fill, I am afraid what my doctor will say, I am sure he will say its my fault, he is very hard to talk too, all he keeps saying is 1/2 teacup 3 times a day! Ya well its not working 1/2 teacup or not!!!

I plateaued for 7 months. I joined Weight Watchers 1 week ago and lost 5 lbs my first week. I follow the core program which is high protein, fruit and vegies. I get approximately 3k calories a week extra for alcohol or whatever. I really like the program and it works. You should give it a try if you are plateaued. How many calories a day do you eat?

i am so sorry, lulubrat, and i feel for you. have you ever had your thyroid checked? i am not losing and it may be due to my thyroid -- they put me on meds recently but it has been hard to regulate and is still slow. i hope you find a solution because i know how very frustrating and demotivating this can be. keep us posted!

I am so understanding your pain.... I went today and got my second fill... my band came with a fill of 3cc's in it the 1stone i got was 2cc's and the one i got today was 1cc... Now I am still at the same weight i was the last time i went in and i know it looks like i am not trying but i am... this crap is so crazy becasue they look at u like yeah ok...... but i asked my Dr. how many fills do people normally get and he said when people get around 7 or 8 they are good and that will last

Well since I have no weight loss for 3 months, I am going to change things up, yet again, I am going to try liquids with only one meal a day, what does everyone think, or has anyone tried that? my liquid will be a atkins protien drink, and my meal will be protien and veggies.

now not to be graffic or anything but a friend of mine that had the bypass done told me to take some milk of mag. and that should help and OMG..lol did it...lol... i think between friday and monday i lost aboug 8lbs...lol.. no kidding.... what exactly are u eating on a daily basis...

I usually have a bolied egg in the morning, mid morning snack is lean sliced ham with light laughing cow cheese or turkey chicken pepperoni

luch usualy is a shrimp salad, and dinner is a protien, salad and veggies, and i always eat my protien first.

Certainly sounds like you should be losing. Could you be holding water? Everything you are eating except the egg is high in salt. Good luck hope it changes soon.

Wow i wish my eating was this good..... uhh i would try adding about 200-more calories for about 3 to 4 days then take it back down for 3 to 4 and repeat... it sounds like your body is use to getting the same thing and u are in a platu.... like for example eate some nuts... cashews or roasted peanuts or something, something that will give u the good fats and see what happends from there and let me know if this works....
