I had my surgery on Sept 5th. So far its been hard on this liquid diet. The only thing that keeps me going is the 20lbs I have lost. For the last 3 days i have not lost anymore weight. I am very frusterated and still have 9 days to go on liquids. Why have a completely stopped losing when I am hungry all the time? Has this happened to anyone else???:thumbup:

No my doctor says 2-3cc a time depending on my needs. I couldnt imagine doing 1cc at a time- that would end up costing a hell of alot if you are paying out of pocket- seems like you would have to visit him more often than normal

you sound like me...i was never one to eat much of the "bad" stuff, but have a quantity issue...i too am eating essentially the same things and on most days, less...however, i feel like i can still eat quite a bit...i'm eating mashed potatoes as well and soups, etc...i'm definitely having trouble with breads, etc...funny, i can still eat bacon!! we'll see, i'm trying not to get too discouraged with the 10 pounds a month weight loss...saw a lady that lost 40# in her first two months which scared me, but nice to know there's others out there like me! thanks for writing!! don't give up!!

I started out weighing 256 april 7 got down to 241 by surgery date april 30. Within a week i was down to 231. Lowest weight was in june at 217. Since june i have gone up and down 217 to 223. Back and forth back and forth. I get my 4th fill oct 3 .... I'm wondering the same thing...whats the problem

I am really frustrated. In June I weighed 275 and started Weight Watchers Core. I was losing weight at a regular pace. Two weeks before getting my band on 8/19 I was put on Atkins preop, and the weight loss slowed way down. On the day of surgery I weighed 248. While on liquids, post op, I started losing again. I went down to 238. I have not lost any weight in the last 3 weeks. As of today, I am up to 242. I am scheduled for my first fill on Monday. I am wondering if I should go back to doing Weight Watchers since the high protein thing doesn't seem to work with me.

Banded on Aug 27th,,,today is 10/1 and still weight between 279 and 283 depending on the time of day I weight myself. Big Stall on the weight loss!!!!! It sucks!!!!

Geting my first adjustment on the 9th!!! cant wait! Hope to be able to feel full faster than now (nothing)!!! The hungry animal inside of me went to sleep for a while but now is fully awake again and I am scare!

I do not drink enough water - how important do you think it is for weight loss.
