Ladies I felt the same way - having fills will keep you both moving in the same "weight loss" direction. The fills helps tremendously. Also try and replace dinners with protein shakes - work out is also a key component. Remember even though you have a band - which is an added tool in your weight loss success; we are still required to do the work. Fills fills fills (find your green zone), it will force you to eat less, increase cardio = weight loss.

Congratulations on your surgery Tan4sho - you are on your way to a new you! If you need us we are here. I am 3months post op and I still need everyone's support.

Excellent response Elizabeth68. Thank you for your compliment. Congratulations as well on your weight loss. You are doing excellent.

I needed this today! Approaching 3 months post op visit. Down 30lbs; but still feel like I am not getting anywhere. I guess I should be grateful. The plateaus tends to make you feel down from time to time.

Hello everyone: I am a new Lap-Bandee just less than a month post op (surgery date 12/19/15). I need as much guidance from you all in order to make my weight loss a huge success. I just had my first fill this morning and thus far - I am feeling great. Since my surgery date - I am only down 10lbs - should it be more than this? Perhaps, I am doing something wrong. Please help!!!!!!!!! I welcome guidance................. Thank You, SBennette

Thanks again for your response. Everything you mentioned, I have heard and/or read and it all makes sense to just simply stay clear and remain focused.

Thanks to you all for such great feedback today. Bandista I was able to check out the youtube videos - extremely informative I may add. What is everyone's take on having at least a glass of wine post lab band? Have you done it?

Thank you Kathousefl for responding as well as your well wishes. How often did you get a fill? I understand it is primarily based on how we feel individually in terms of weight loss as well as hunger levels in between meals, but I just wanted to have an idea. Thanks in advance for your responses.

Thank you both for responding. I truly appreciate it. I will continue to do what I am doing and just be patient. Any suggestions for a protein bar that actually is high in protein/low sugar that doesn't taste like I am eating chalk?
