as long as the inches are coming off the weight will follow...

now that is easily said and not so easy to hear i know.

i have been banded for 3 weeks now and have slowed my weight loss to almost a standstill but i also have no fills either that will come next week.

you are probably replacing the fat with muscle and muscle weighs more than fat.

so as long as the inches are coming off i wouldnt worry to much as the weight will follow.

Remember 50 off is better then 50 on!!! Not everyone drops it fast, you read it all over the board. I think your doing great because you are heading in a better direction then if you were doing nothing! You are on a journey to a better life! Your doing great <Thumbs up>

HI Chinadoll,

Certainly with your exercise, you're going to be building muscles - and loosing inches.

But, my questions are:

What do you eat?

How much Protein do you get?

I've heard others say you need to eat enough calories so that your metabolism doesn't shut down, but not too many, obviously.

I eat between 800 - 1200 generally, 100 - 300 occasionaly more, but usually not less. I get between 60 to 80 grams of Protein each day.

I haven't gotten to my sweet spot quite yet, but I'm close with my fill yesterday.

Keep changing up your diet and exercise to see what's going to work for you!

      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.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
