suefromca Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 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...

Clynn Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 If you were banded by Dr Ortiz you can always get in touch with Dr Miranda. She can have a look at your food diary and make suggestions. If you weren't banded by Dr Ortiz then ask your doctor for a referral to an nutritionist. However, like suefromca said, you're on a plateau and it does happen. Your body is not a machine and sometime it just needs a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice?????????????????Sue I've heard of this happening. In the old days of dieting, the "Diet Center" they used to tell us to eat only fruit for 2 days to jump start your loss. The "Atkins" people do only meat and eggs for 2 days. I like doing a protien drink thing for a couple days. Then back to my normal routine. I know exercise is key to getting back on track too. But, I think Clynn's suggestion is a good one, it would be wise to call Dr. Miranda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
