I went for my aftercare appt today. I didn't lose a pound but maintained which is good. Of course I have lost 80 lbs in 9 months. This is my first time not losing since surgery 8.30.12. Not upset just wondering if anyone has experienced this and suggestions how to overcome a plateau. I did lose another size which I love!

I love my lap band. Blood pressure is normal again and I feel great. I do intense workouts 6 days a week. Lap band is a great tool. You just have to work and it works for you. I love my life now. 39 lbs to goal!

What stage should you eat this very delicious sounding pizza? I just started solids today. Enjoying tuna on a little bed of lettuce. So tasty. That pizza sounds so good. Where to you buy the bread?

I was banded Aug 30. I have lost 15 pounds post op and combined with the 11 I lost pre op for a total of 26 pounds lost. Loving life. Today I started soft foods. It took 2 hours to eat a half cup of oatmeal. Nice. I have had no complications and just following Dr's orders to the book. Super excited

Still feeling good. Just hard to get in my fluids. Just no hunger. This is great. Still no problems. Thank you God.

Got banded yesterday. Was home at noon. No pain. No gas. Walking around. Trying to get my shakes in but I am not hungry. Only minor pain where my port is. Blessed that I had no complications so far. My new birthday August 30, 2012.

Getting Frustrated

I started my journey January 12th this year. Just got approved 2 weeks ago. Surgery is this Thursday. Hang in there. My insurance made me do a lot. I have very good insurance. -
Overjoyed. Surgery set for August 30th at 8:30 am. Excited

Down 3.6 lbs after day 1. Wasn't bad at all. Today I had one shake and tuna with lettuce as a lettuce wrap. Plan on a shake or chicken breast with unlimited green veggies for dinner. Can't wait until the 30th

I made it. Not bad for my first day. Had 2 protein shakes and grilled tilapia with green veggies for today's menu. My treat tonight will be a sugar free popsicle.

Just Received Approval Today

Thanks for your encouragement. I did my research and know this is for me. My sister had gastric bypass in 2007 and lost over 220 pounds and has still kept it off. She's a good support for me. I just didn't want to do gastric. Lapband is for me. Jumping for joy.
