I agree 100% thank you to everyone for their help & thoughts. I will try more eggs, chicken & definitely need to drink more water. 3 of my medications cause weight gain :-( im also asthmatic so excersise can be tricky. Along with being a fussy eater. X

Hi, looking for some advice, ive had a gastric band for 11 years and had it removed last month due to complications. Im struggling to loose any weight now. Im on a calorie restriction deficit now on 1400 cals per day & not loosing anything. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Its frustrating as i dont eat that much during day, i have a slim fast bar for breakfast & a coffee, protein shake for lunch & usually some grapes or strawberries, dinner is usually a calorie controlled ready meal or meat or chicken. Followed by a fat free yogurt x

I have some mobility issues unfortunately, i do have an exercise bike & try to use that every other day. Ill go to my gp and ask to speak to dietitian. Thank you for your time & help x

I was scheduled for gastric sleeve shortly after band had been taken out, but my consultant left. Now the hospital saying they cant see the funding package that has been put in place, thought id try myself in mean time but just not shifting the pounds. Im eating alot more than i use to but eating the right things & keeping within calories .

Im 5,1

18stone 3lb

I have mine in my breast bone, its a bit of a pain with underwired bra’s so i wear sports ones- unusual place for mine too

Sure, i was 22 stone when i started in aug 2014 my weight came off slowly as i had a few tummy bugs and my fill had to be taken out then put back in. The lowest i got to was 14 stone 9 in aug 2018 now im back up to 16 and half stone. Dont always feel restricted as pouch must be stretched. My port is also in my breast bone, i was not aware it was going there until after the op was done, i was told it would be in my side. It is annoying being in my breast bone & is nudged quite easily. I really want another fill & more weight to come off. I have loose skin on my arms, back & tummy which effects me greatly.

Ive got 5.5ml in my lap band & ive stopped loosing weight over last year and half & even gained a bit. Cant see surgeon to get a fill because of covid, eating one meal a day just now & just small biscuits through day, its tough and my eating habits have changed
