Hi, I was home on temporary disability after having 2 heart attacks when I had my lapband on april 4th. Shortly thereafter I had to give up my Cobra health insurance(it was just too expensive) and have only been able to have 3 fills since having the procedure. I started working again in late September but have been unable to go for my fills now because I work in Far Rockaway,NY and my surgeons office is in Hackensack,NJ. I am becoming very discouraged because all I've lost is 15lbs since the procedure. I have to be honest, cake had become my friend again. I'd like to talk to anyone from Northern New Jersey/Midtown New York who may have a surgeon who's closer. Also any support or suggestions would be appreciated. I don't want to be fat anymore.

Restless Monkey, thank you so much for your honesty. That's exactly where I'm at right now. I made a decision to look at food for what it is, fuel. So far I've been able to stick with that realization and have lost 5lbs in the last 2 weeks. I had one piece of cake when I went out to a very fancy resturant with the owners of the spa I work at part time. Funny but it wasn't as good as I remember cake being. Tell me, what do you eat in a typical day? What is your normal Protein and caloric intake? I just started the job so taking a day off wasn't really an option but I will have to do so. I hope to "talk" to you again sometime.

Please help me. I was banded on april 4 on this year. I've had two fills so far with a total of 4.5 cc's. I'm 5'3" and weighed 208lbs the morning of my procedure. I weigh 192lbs today. Obviously I'm doing something wrong. I chart what I eat on thedailyplate.com and have noticed that I do eat quite a bit of carbs and so far haven't have one day with 60g of protien. Can someone please walk me through a typical day's diet? I need to add that on my first weigh in I had lost only 2lbs even though I was on liquids. I cried.
I'm 48 years old and did quit smoking just before the procedure. Maybe those facts and the high carbs have something to do with it.
On the brighter side my body has changed quite a bit and I've given away all of my size 20's and most of my 18's. I had some serious health issues. I couldn't walk half a block with resting or put on my own socks and shoes(huge belly). I can & do walk miles and love polishing my toes!

HI, I had the lapband on April 4th. I started at 208 lbs and am now at 194 lbs. I had 2cc's on my first fill and will have my 2nd fill on the 2nd of July. The weight isn't coming off as fast as I would like and I now find myself cheating(sweets). I'm hoping to see faster and more consistant loss after this next fill. I'd like to know what most of you eat on an average day to help me on my course. :confused2:
