I am so close to the finish line but need some insight on fat burners fiber and energy? I take gummy multivitamins and liquid joint vitamins. Any insight?

This is the machine the Dr I am going to uses. You can YouTube it or use any search engine to do your research. I found out lots of information but noting on was it safe for wls ppl. I had the talk with my band surgeon who ok'd it and with the dr doing the laser lipo to make sure this was best for me. Hope this helps The YOLO Curve non-invasive treatment is considered one of the most innovative methods to treat stubborn areas of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise. It emits low levels laser energy and the fat cell membranes are disrupted releasing intra-cellular fat. This causes the cell to lose its round shape by changing the permeability of the cell membrane. This does not affect the neighboring structures such as skin, blood vessels, and peripheral nerves.​

I am 20lbs from my doctors goal. Where I am now was my personal goal. I am looking into laser lipo. It takes longer usually 3 treatments a week for a number of weeks based on your body. My surgeon and the laser lipo doc both said it was great for lapband patients. Will keep you posted

wow this was alot of information. i am going on my 2yr with the lapband and have had to have 3 unfills due to my allergies. My doctor has only advised me to get some over the counter meds with decongestant in them and to take them daily. i am currently just filled and am having trouble due to the mucus drainage. the thought of having the band removed after dealing with this since last September 2013 is a welcomed one but my surgeon hasn't recommended that.

Banded February 2012 Pre-Surgery 242lbs Current weight 188lbs Short term 178 Goal 160

I am going through that right now. I work out 6days a week and have been training for months for a half marathon in April. My time of the month I just try not to weigh myself... Which is hard because I am like you I weigh myself daily. Who knew the hunger monster would be replaced by the lbs monster

Congrats! I am training for one April 27th you will be an inspiration to me

Thanks ladies I use the Lose It app My biggest issue is those are the foods I carry around but I really don't / can't eat them all

So I've been banded since 2/2012 Long story short I've only lost 16lbs to date. Before surgery I lost almost 40lbs was doing great working out and eating right. Now I am in a green zone but find it hard to make good food choices and typically not really hungry. I am just frustrated. I went and bought Protein powder last week to help supplement but I know my nutritionist really didnt want me to get my protein that way. I just feel so lost.... When I go to aftercare they seem to be ok with my weight loss but the most I have lost in a 3 week period is 4lbs. I guess I was just expecting more after doing this drastic measure. Anyone have suggestions??? Normal day Breakfast- egg sausage or juice oatmeal or nothing if I can't tolerate it Snack- Jerky Lunch- tuna, Soup, salad , seafood Usually no other snack or a Hershey's kiss if wanting something sweet dinner fish, chicken or beef maybe veggies if still hungry Drink lot of Water with those powder mixes Workout 3-5 times a week 40 mins cardio and strength Downfall days I have chips and or candy popcorn
