I was wondering if you know your having a plateau issue, and its not time for another fill. Should u go back to a full liquid diet like stage 1 to jump start some progress. I am excersing @ least 3x a week. Doing Turbo Jam, and walking when weather permits. I was just wondering if the scale gets stuck...How do we JUMP start the weight loss? Thanks, All information is appreciated! Connie

Good Morning, I was banded October 6th in Wareham Ma. I am having no pain issues, except the gas feeling. I have been walking around and sipping Water and drinking my Protein shakes. I gained 6lb post surgery. Tell me, I wasn't in shock. I was feeling sad last nite. I guess b/c I was sore and gassy. I actually cried b/c I didn't know what to do with myself. Looking for some positive words! Thanks...

I was baned on Oct 6th and today makes one week. The swelling went down but now I feel like fluids isnt keeping me full enough I am constantly drinking water and having yogurt and protein shakes but I feel like I am still hungry. I seen the dr. yesterday and told him. He said that was normal.. and he said he will see me in 4weeks for my first fill. What do u guys do when this happens.. how do you keep from being a starvin marvin! Thanks Connie

Congrats on the band and yes those are the symptoms I had too.. I goes away day by day just keep drinking small sips and often. and u will notice the next day will get better and so on. Take care.. and Good Luck!

I love p90x I am about 45 days into it! I am also drinking the shakeology which I love! its all natural and had great protein. I drink my shake at lunch time. I have to modify a few moves, but I am moving. I am not weighting myself for awhile b/c I don't want to get disappointed if the number doesn't move. I figure as long as I lose inches I cool with that.

Hi my name is Connie, I am from Massachussetts and starting the road to lap band. I have a BMI of 42 and I am 35, the worst part is I am very short only 4' 9'' and I have PCOS. I have been dieting and working out for so long, the weight just never comes off , and if it does I plateau and it finds it way back to my body. I am using Wareham Surgical Associates for my procedure. I am going this week for my pre op testing, and I am every bit nervous about the procedure. I know i am making the right choice. I have been reading the posts on here and I finally decided to jump in and introduce myself. Looking forward to communicating and supporting all of our lap band friends.
