  4. Hello, I'm looking for a buddy/mentor to help me navigate through this process. I'm currently 4 years post op and I've only lost 50 pounds. I've been adjusted many times however my weight loss has stalled. I'm a 34 year old married male with one son and another on the way. I realize the band is a "round peg" and I'm the "square hole." I need help hammering in the peg. After my surgery the follow up by my surgical team was almost nonexistent. I received no meal planning guides nor any one on one consults so I have not changed my eating habits or eating behavior. I'm afraid of failing. I'm looking for someone who can provide direction and encouragement. Thanks, Dan
  5. 4 years has passed since you registered at LapBandTalk! Happy 4th Anniversary dpj00024!

  6. So I bought a jug of this stuff and it doesn't taste all that bad but I was reading the lable and it specificly states that it should not be used for weight loss. I've read many posts where people have used this product and have had good success. Should I not be using it? Thanks... Dan

    Ring Sizes

    They can soder a curved piece of metal on the inside of the ring which can be adjusted as you loose weight. I've had this done.

    How much in your first year?

    No worries. I was banded last April and I didn't start loosing the weight I wanted until my last fill 2 months ago.
  9. I love going to the gym now that I'm seeing results. It's different when you first start I have to admit but it gets easier and now I want to go everyday. Unfortunately my schedule won't allow me to but I try and get there 3x a week. I look forward to it. I consider it MY time. Time to work on myself. Dan

    Help!!! Gaining Weight & Don't Know Why

    Thanks everyone. I've doubled my water intake so we'll see if that has any effect. My workout schedule is kind of all over. I get to go to the gym whenever my little one permits. : ) If you've ever had a two year old, you'll know what I mean. I'm trying for 3x a week.
  11. So over the last week I've gained a total of 6 lbs and I don't know why? I'm sticking to around 1000 cal. a day and I'm working out 3x a week. What can I possiblely be doing wrong here? I will say that over the past two months, since my last fill, I've lost 30 lbs. Well now 24 lbs. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks... Dan

    Weight Coming Off Too Fast Since Fill?

    Thanks guys! I'm trying to stick to around 800 cal. a day. I finally am able to use my WII Fit since my recent weight loss so I'm going to see how that goes tonight. : )
  13. So it's almost two weeks since I had my 3rd fill and I've lost 11 pounds already. Is that too much too quickly or did I just not have enough restriction before? I have started working out so that may be contributing to it. I just want to be sure I'm doing it the right way. Thanks....

    Starbucks Frappuccinos

    Thanks guys... I think I'll cut down to maybe one a weeek. : ) Since my 3rd fill about a week and a half ago, I'm down 10 pounds. Mostly because I started exercising and drascticly lowered my cal. intake. The band is finally working. Yah!
  15. So I'm hooked on the Starbucks carmel frap. Since being banded however I've switched to the lite version that they offer. Is this just a bad choice or what? For the lite frap here is the nutritional info: Calories 220Fat Calories 15Total Fat (g) 1.5Saturated Fat (g) 0Trans Fat (g) 0Cholesterol (mg) 5Sodium (mg) 320Total Carbohydrates (g) 43Fiber (g) 3Sugars (g) 30Protein (g) 7Vitamin A 0%Vitamin C 0%Calcium 20%Iron 0%Caffeine (mg) 125
