suefromca Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 I was banded on June 18, since then I have had about 3 fills with the last being on Nov 6. Up until then I was losing weight at about 10-12 pounds a month. Since Nov I have only lost 3 pounds. Most of the time when I eat, unless it is liquids or soft foods I end up feeling sick. I no even attempt to try to drink when I eat and my sugar cravings are crazy. I kept a food diary and I am eating anywhere from 800 to 1500 calories a day. I haven't been super good about exercising but I do walk. Is there something wrong. I am afraid to go back to my doctor because I know he will have a fit that I have only lost 3 pounds in 3 months. Any advice????????????????? Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice?????????????????Sue your doctor better not have a fit! show him/her the diary! Everyone plateaus! It can linger. Usually exercise and lots of water, changing your diet to a higher percentage protein can help! I feel your pain- I am on liquid supplemented with protein- I basically have been eating 300-400 cals a day and nary a pound lost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice?????????????????Sue What is your diet like? Why are your sugar cravings so bad? Could it be your sugar or carb intake now? I know the weight loss tapers, but I think you should just look specifically at your diet & exercise. There could be something in either one. Maybe you need more cardio workouts or perhaps some of the food choices are high in trans fats. It's hard to tell, but I think you definitely need to have a consultation with your nutritionist. Don't afraid...that's what they're there for. They want us to succeed & they can't help if they don't know what's going on.
