Hello all,

I;ve been banded a year ago and since then I lost 62 pounds (I currently weigh 160 pounds)with 3 fills -I currently have 4.5cc in my band. The problem is that I haven't lost any weight since November!!I just keep going up or down 2 pounds every week.:thumbup:. It's like by body is really fighting to keep every pound.

Now I'm afraid that I will never get past this point EVER!!

I exercise and make healthy choices.

I've had my last fill on Saturday 1 cc.

Does anyone know how much you are supposed to lose in the first year? I was ashamed to ask my doc :thumbup: because I think I have failed .......:hurray:

I think 62 lbs is great!! I've only lost 78 lbs and I have a lot more to lose than you. I've been stuck for the last two months and i'm totally frustrated as well. However, I'm running 25-30 miles a week and I feel better than i ever have in my life. I'm just trying to look at it that way. I need a fill. I just hate being so tight and throwing up. I'd rather have a little chub on me and not need to pay for another surgery. LoL

You should talk to your doctor about it and what you should do.

Mostly don't feel bad about your loss...you've done great!!! I'm at 190 and I'd trade you for 160 any day!! heeh

Well what are you eating? are you keeping a food diary? I kept a food diary for a while and stopped. That"s when I started gaining and loosing the same 3 lbs. Since I started keeping a food diary again I am back to losing. You might need to increase your calories a little for a couple of days. Or decrease them. Change up your excersise routine a little. Your supposed to lose 1-3lbs a week on average. There isn't really a set amount of weight your supposed to lose in a yr. Plus the less you have to lose the harder it gets. Good luck.

Don't be ashamed of your weight loss! I only lost thirty lbs my first year. It took me about 15-16 months to hit 40 lbs!

Slow and steady wins the race.

Are you exercising at all? Do you know if you are eating a well balanced diet? Perhaps you could consult with the nutritionist or your doctor for some more pointed advice. Good luck!
