Frustrated

CindiNever

544 views

I continue to be frustrated with my lap band after three years. This is my first time on a blog EVER!!!! I really want to learn to use this lap band as a tool to lose more weight. I've only lost about 30 pounds during the past three years. My husband has gained 30 because of all my leftovers I give him when we go out to eat.

 

Breakfast is sparce...one egg (maybe), one bite or two of toast, maybe 2/3 piece of bacon. Then I work all morning on orange juice with a supplement added. I can drink tea all day. Lunch is like a cup of soup or maybe a half of a sparce sandwich and dinner well there is where I really go wrong because I'm hungry. I can eat 6 to 8 ounces of lean grilled stead. Forget the chicken unless it has sauce or is really juicy. I can eat a half of a baked potato but salad....well it is no more. Lettuce just gets stuck no matter how much I chew. And my old time favorites spinach, brussel sprouts, and broccoli are no more, If I eat these they just get stuck and then everything else comes up.

 

It's one day at a time and I'm ready to begin. I'm not crazy about the protein shakes but I'm not that hungry in the morning so they really aren't appealing. Help.....your suggestions are appreciated.

All I can say is that I am right there with you. I have given up on my band, however it still causes me problems. All the doctor in my area have moved to bigger cities for bigger paychecks, so my band is empty and still causes me problems. I do go to the gym and walk on the treadmills. I have been very happy to be able to eat more salads and vegetables than before they opened my band again. I wish I could give you more answers than I have been able to get, just know that it is not just you and there are others out here in the same boat.

Three years is a long time to not know what to do with your band. I would have gone to the Dr. two and a half year ago.

No...I know how to use the lap band and have had several adjustments. I think my next goal is a nutritionist.
