I had my lapband surgery a little over a year ago and have lost 55lbs. My weight loss has now stalled even though i have been following the plan 1200 calories daily drink at least 64oz Water,and even increased my exercise. All this to no avail....I am very thankful that at least the scale didn't show a gain. I started yesterday on the liquid pre/post surgery diet. I am unsure how long I will stay on this ...but i have already lost 2lbs. Anyone else have this problem?

Okay great i will check it out. Thanks for your help

I don't plan on staying on this liquid diet. It was my intention to try to jump start my weight loss. i was wondering if anyone else might have tried this as well.The lap band actually does help because I really never get hungry. Thanks for your input and suggestions

It's none of their business if you don't wish to tell them.Some people tend to be critical of WWS. Some feel like we took the easy way out. Needless to say that have no clue that this just helps curb the appetite. We have to do everything everyone else trying to lose weight has to do. I eventually told some people but saw no need to share with some others. BTW I had the band. best of luck to you on your journey.

My weight loss has been very slow. but I am okay with that. I rarely get hungry and I am eating the right foods so I know it will come off in time. I think the first month after surgery I lost about 11 lbs. I am so thankful each day I was able to have this surgery. Best of luck to you all don't get discouraged stay positive and determined and it will happen.

You look awesome...thanks for sharing it was very encouraging.

I am so excited for you!!! Keep us posted on how you do. I will be banded on 1/3 I think depending on how fast my insurance sends approval back. Hoping we can keep in touch especially since our banding dates are so close.

Congratulations on the weight loss.Sometimes those scales are our worst enemy. I have been known to be the ole slave to the scale as well. I am new here and been reading various posts. Looking forward to seeing your continued progress.

Welcome, I am new as well. I have attended my first seminar a few weeks ago. I will meet with the dietician and financial / patient advocate on 10/15/12. I would love to follow your progress and hopefully we can help each other.

Hi Marybell my insurance provider is Cigna.I would suggest checking out GE Credit also.I used them a few years back interest free if paid on time. @Newme Thanks !! Have you had surgery yet? I am excited once I finally made the decision to pursue this. Just wish they could do it tomorrow!!!
