Beyond A Turtle's Pace

Feb 16, 2009

I know that I've always lost weight really slowly but now it's almost nonexistent. I've gone from turtle pace to the pace of a slug. I went to Dr. Bilton last week and had gained a pound. That means I've only lost about 5 pounds int he past  three months.  He gave me .25 cc for a fill. I said, that's it.?! He told me we had to take baby steps because he didn't want to overfill me. He said if that happened, he would have to remove all the fluid and I would have to start all over gain - something I do not want to do.

He did say the first year was hard trying to get to the right level of fill. Next month, he will check to make sure there's no leak or anything, though. I guess I'll try to be content and patient.  I don't know if I've just hit a long plateau or what. My fear is that I've stopped losing and I want to lose at least 30 lbs. more.  In the meantime, I'm trying to eat more fruits and vegetables and limit processed carbs.
