Hi, I was banded on May 14 th 2008 and have lost 75 lbs. I have 65 more to go and I have been stuck in a funk since the end of Dec. It's like nothing works for me now to start losing again. When I'm really good the scale does not move any longer. I get hungry and my mind is back to wanting all the junk foods and Snacks as before. I lost the feeling of not being hungry or interested in food. I think about food now all day. I don't think I need another fill either as when I eat the bandster way I have restriction and do not want to get so tight that I cannot eat at all so I am really stuck and it is definitely messing with my mind now and don't know how to get out of this or what to do. Please advise if there is anyone that can relate to what I am going through. Thanks !!

Hi,

Welcome to the forums. I can't relate as I haven't been banded yet, but, you may have more success in the post-op section of the forums.

I can't speak from any experience on this, since I'm not banded yet either, but I've seen people in other similar posts recommend going back to your liquid only for a few days. But don't dismiss the need for a fill so easily.

And make sure you are not drinking anything with your meals.

I think that's going to be the hardest thing for me to do, especially long-term. I soooo love to "wash" my bites down with ice cold Water when I'm eating.

I can speak from experience and all I can say is work through it and it will get better. I have been on a 4 week plateu. I have not lost a thing however I know my body is changing. Doesnt make me feel better when the scale DOESNT move:(

Check your daily calorie count to make sure you are eating enough. I was in a plateau for a while and it actually took upping my calories to get me started moving downward again. If you use The Daily Plate to track your food, you can enter your current weight and your goal (lose 1 pound a week, lose 2 pounds a week, etc.) and it will suggest the number of calories you need to eat daily to meet your goal.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
