Don't get disheartened guys, I know it's really easy to but the weight will come off, trust me I'm seven years in and flab free!!!!, I'm not sure what the procedures are in the states with regards to the first eight weeks post surgery but here in the uk, the first four weeks was spent on fluid only, then the next four weeks was only mushy food, i.e mashed potatoes, soup that kind of thing. In those eight weeks I'd lost 23lbs, you hear so many conflicting stories about the right way to do it bit to be honest or can take a while for your body to adjust and for you to too!!!!! I also had my first band fill at eight weeks then I really noticed the weight starting to shift !!!! Keep going and be positive, none of us put the pounds on in five minutes and getting it off isn't going g to take five minutes either, it will be so worth it you will feel a million dollars, and as for food????..... Nothing and I mean "NOTHING" tastes sexier than skinny!!!!!!!????

I I'm new to the forum, I live in the uk and had my lapband in 2007, I weighed a mighty 18 stones which at5'2 was not good, I was approaching fourth and decided I was not going to be "fat & 40"!!!! since my op I have lost ten stone and now weight 8 stones and 6 lbs and I feel fab although there have been some high prices to pay things that they don't tell you about, but it wouldn't change a single thing.

@toritz tips?? Well that's a hard one, I don't think anything about how I got to my final weight goal has been planned it just seemed to happen!!! Bit it's been an eventful journey learning to live with the acid reflux, and throwing up not to mention the surgery I will need to put bits back where they should be!!????????????????????

Ha ha Chicago rose, we tends to use stones, pounds and ounces in the uk where as I guess you guys use mostly pound
