11 months before and in progress

I would love to lose 30 more, but will have to see. I am just happy to have lost what I have already. I am off my meds and feeling really good. I guess it also depends on what the doctor says. I have been going in every other month for a fill because I am staying satisfied longer and at the end of 4 weeks, my band still feels tight enough. I need to sit down and make a list of my favorite foods, and just stick with those as long as they don't get stuck. What are some of your favorites that go down good and don't get stuck? -

Congrats on the 61 lbs!!! I was banded on Oct 4th, 2013 and I am down 50lbs. I am just like you by not being able to eat breakfast, and choosing foods that aren't the healthiest for me. I don't eat much and I am also not motivated to exercise after working 12 hrs at my job. We need to find a way to motivate each other then!! Keep in touch and let me know how you are doing. -
Congrats on surgery!! Now the journey begins!

Wow, 1 year ago today I started this journey!! I am happy to say I am down 55 lbs. I will admit it hasn't been easy but I am getting there slowly!! Now to work on the last 30 lbs. I am determined and I will get there!!!

After reading your post, I will be calling my doctor on Monday. I was filled 10 days ago and at first thought it was great because I wasn't hungry. Wrong!!! Every time I eat or drink I get this feeling in my throat that there is something there waiting to come up. I get the slime, and eventually puke. There aren't to many things that stay down. I kept thinking it would go away and obviously it won't on it's own. I thought it was great because I dropped 8 lbs since the fill. Well it's not. Will be going in Monday!,

I really appreciate all your suggestions. Weight is still coming off slow. I am trying to eat more meat to get my protein in. The easiest meat to eat is deli turkey or deli chicken. Veggies have to be cooked. Thanks again for your responses. I go back for another fill next week so will be able to tell if what I am doing works.

Hi Crystal! So what are you eating in a day? This morning I had a problem eating scrambled eggs. It kept getting stuck. I am trying to eat a little more And trying to stay away from processes foods. I don't feel I eat much in a day, no way close to 1200 calories, but the weight doesn't come off. I am Up for any suggestions. I am going to try to eat more fish and more cooked veggies. I will let you know if it works for me. Good luck to you

I received my band October 4, 2013 and have been struggling to lose. I have never lost more than 5 pounds in a month and last month I gained a pound. Usually I lose about 2 lbs a month. I have a job where I spend most my 12 hr shift sitting. I try to walk as much as I can. I feel I just need more support from something that has been through this and understands what I am going through. I have gotten a fill every month since my fill. I do feel restriction at this time. I am just asking for some help and advise from someone

i had a real ahh ha! moment this week. I had to go back to basics. just lean protein (eggs, chicken, shrimp, fish) and veggies\fruit for 1 week with 100 oz. of water each day (no sugar, fat, carbs) and I lost 6 lbs in 1 week!!
I think I got too wrapped up in the "as long as it's protein, it's ok" idea. I was stuck on a plateau for months. Maybe this could help you?

I think that is also what I need to do. There are days that I am just not hungry so don't eat much at all and I don't lose anything. Then the days I pay close attention to what I am eating and really focus on the protein and veggies, I will lose weight. Crazy!!!! I know I need to really work on this.

That is awesome!! I was also banded in October and am happy to say that I am down 38 lbs from my surgery date and a total of 43 from when I started this journey! It is so fun to share your joy with others that have the same goals as you do! Congrats again on your accomplishment. Thanks for sharing!! Can't wait to see what we both look like in a year!!!

How much did you lose in the first few months?
LynnR replied to futureformerfattie's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My weight loss has been very slow. Ony about 2-4 lbs a month which is so slow. I keep telling myself that the slower the better.
