No weigt loss in over 3 months



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 05/06/08 and lost 70 lbs in the first seven months but none since. I have 3 cc's in a 10cc band and have an appt in a couple of weeks...I usually cannot eat anything until after 10 am having my coffee first or else things will get stuck. I am following the rules but getting discouraged, do I need a fill or has other people hit this plateau? Thanks!

i was that way too. liquid only each morning. mine used to last until noon or so. oh how i miss that! lol. are you following the rules but eating more? has your exercise changed? have you tried changing up what you do or the amount of calories for a few days? i know i have read lots and lots of threads where people suggest this. good luck!

A lot of us find our bands are tighter in the morning. Usually if you drink a cup of coffee or tea first thing and eat a hot meal, that will relax it a bit for you. 3 ccs in a 10 cc band means you have a lot of potential for further restriction. How long since your last fill? It sounds like you need a fill to me.

Dont get too discuraged. I went throught a peroid of over 4 months where I lost less that 10 pounds. I was doing everything right. I was getting VERY upset that the waigt wasn't comming off. Then all of a sudden I lost 8 lbs in 1 month. I think it just depends on your body. Most people hit a platuo and get stuck for a while. But it wont last forever. Just keep doing what your suppoes to and the weigt WILL come off.

Have you tried the 5 day pouch test? I can't recommend it enough, it was the only thing that got the scale moving again for me. I'm sure you're probably in need of another fill, but this is a great tool I'm going to keep in my back pocket when I hit the dreaded plateau.

All of the info you need for the 5 day pouch test is here. Some people think you need to order the book, but you don't, all of the details are on the website.

Good luck & congrats on your amazing progress!

      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!
