Banded 7/2010. Lost 60 first year. Gained 40. Lost 28 of that. Refuse to weigh myself at home. Only on Dr. scales. I too am slow loser. Very frustrating. I workout 4 + times a week normally.

Brenda I was desperate for guidance. Found this gal on YouTube ...began duplicating her meal prep and following it to a tee. It has helped me. Along with all her other videos. Give her a try.

Well, I think I LOST all that I gained. Plus, possibly lost 5 more! Now....I need to continue onward!!!!!

Introducing self: Mary Ellen. I live in Lake Ridge, Va. banded July 2010. Only down total of 55. Lost/gained/lost/gained....finally back on track. Yay. Wishing everyone well. Mary Ellen Putnam-Reinhardt is my Facebook.

Believe me, I have eaten pizza. It doesn't fend well. Thanks for the suggestions....

Does anyone have any suggestions for snacks for a Super Bowl party? I have succumbed to the fact that I will be having some red wine. Looking for some suitable snacks so I don't blow up the next day. Celery and broccoli get stuck in my band. Will probably have some yummy hummus. Obviously we can't have pizza. Any suggestions??

I know this is an old post. As I read it. .... I'm going back to see my Doc after 2 yrs. I lost 50 and gained 20 back.

Will keep you all posted.

I'll try that. I go this Friday. Scheduled it for a pay day WITH commission...lol!!!!!

My initial LB surgery, was covered. Left the job I was at, new insurance has.... NO Bariatric coverage. Haven't been to my Dr. In 2 yrs. Gained 30 outta the 50 I lost! That said, no insurance, I was told the follow- up visits would be $150 (no fill) $250 with fill. Is this normal? (In the US. Virginia)

""I think they taste like eating candles anyway, but that's just me."" Oh my God. I just spit my Crystal Light all over my keyboard!!!!! I *am* in search of the BEST Protein bar for Lap Band patients - That was the "search" I put in - and got this thread!!!
