Hi, I'm new to this site and love all of the topics. This month will be 5 years since I had my lap-band done. Well first, I started at 260 and now am at ready.............220 Yup. Had many fills and can only be at .2cc because anything more I'm unable unconfortable. So my Dr. keeps me on this amount. But it's not the band's fault is mine. I need motivation and to start from the beginning with step1. Help

Hi everyone, Wanted to just update since this post. I saw my Dr. and she decided right there and then to remove all of my Fluid. She ran tests to see how my band was and if there was anything wrong with it. Thankfully everthing was fine. So for a month I had an empty band and I was so scared of gaining weight. Of course I gained 5 pounds. So going Monday for my second fill since removing it all and have lost 4 pounds. Have been seeing my dietition and feel good about moving forward. My problem is moving (excise) I have done it all and hate to doing it. But that is something I need to overcome. I have to get up and do it at lease for 30 min. So here I go. How are you all doing?

I was like that, dont' worry. If you follow the plan then you will see the lost. Everyone feels this way. We are use to things not working out and gaining weight with past diet. You will do just fine and lose. keep us posted

Great Job! Congrats

Best of Luck. Keep us posted.

Thank you everyone for all of your kind words. Back to the basic it will be for me. I will go and start on liquits and one meal, but most of all I need to start to drink lots of water and get moving. You see I'm a big coffee drinker. So that will be the first thing to cut out or a lease down to one cup a day. Also, have to start to make time for myself. I think that will be the hardest part.

Thank you Andrea
