I'm about 4 and a half months post op and down around 50 pounds.. I was pretty happy with the weight loss I was having.. Up until my last visit.. I only lost .9 pounds in 5 weeks. But, I know why.. I can eat as much as I want of whatever I want.. UGH. I know I shouldn't, but I just get hungry.. And eat. Too much. Of stuff I shouldn't have. So mad at myself right now... I have to go back Monday and I'm so scared of going and have gained weight. I will definitely be asking for a fill though.

Yeah.. That's one of the reasons I'm not just telling everyone. I don't need other questioning everything I do, especially since most don't even know how the band works. If someone told me I was taking the easy way out, I would probably say very not nice things to them (LOL). I don't even have mine yet and having to change my eating habits and excluding things from my diet completely is soo difficult... Especially when it comes to cooking. It is nice to be able to make one dish and it last for a week though!

You can do it! I need to lose about 170 so we have about the same amount to lose!

I have about 150 to lose!

Good luck! I'm having mine done on the 20th of December.. I think it's awesome that you are both going to have LapBand - you can help each other out!

Personally, I can't tell the difference between regular and decaf coffee, so I just stick to the decaf

Good luck! I'm two days before you

I haven't been banded yet, but I weight at least once a week.. I feel like it makes me make sure I stay to the pre-op diet (mine is a month) because I know I have to weigh in a few days, but that's just me. I know after surgery my doctor doesn't want you to weight yourself at all, so the only time I weight after surgery is supposed to be when I go to see him.
