That is why I haven't told many people at all. Sometimes I feel guilty when people who struggle with their weight ask me how I lost it but then I just tell them the diet that I am on with the lap band which is exactly what you should eat when you are trying to loose weight. Good luck to you!

I am feeling good I wish I had more motivation to exercise though I think once I start back with that I will start dropping more weight I have been within the same 10 pounds for 5 months now so it is really frustrating. Everyone says I look like I have dropped weight recently but the scale isn't showing it and I'm not seeing it. Overall so so so happy I did this

I have had my band about 7 months now and I hear everyone talk about getting stuck but it sounds so much more dramatic then what I thought my getting stuck is. When I think I am stuck I get the hiccups with some pain and burp once or twice and it goes away. Is that stuck? People talk about going on liquids after that for some time but I can just start eating again and I just know to slow down and chew more. Am I getting stuck or am I experiencing sometime else?

As long as the pills aren't extended release or gel caps you can break them in half

I crushed a couple of Tylenol one time and I never crushed another pill! So disgusting! I just break them in half

I remember it being difficult when I had to do it for two weeks before surgery but the reasoning behind doing it (shrinking your liver to allow easier access for surgery) made me feel more motivated I guess you can say. I just got filled for the third time and the past 24 hours on clears has sucked! I so want to cheat. How long does your doc keep you on clears after a fill?

I weighed myself on friday and ding ding ding... halfway to my goal weight! Almost 3 months after surgery and I am so excited! Only 6 pounds away from Onederland Even with all these great things I have been having a rough weekend sticking to my diet... parties ext. It seems like everyone on here sticks to their diets really well am I the only one?

I took a three hour flight 1 week after my surgery and I was perfectly fine good luck!

I heard that the one is more accurate but I just know I would lose it or wash it lol.

I have done a lot of onlibe comparisons and I am thinking about purchasing the Fitbit flex. Does anyone have it? What are your opinions on it. All input would be helpful

Hi I am a single 30 year old white female newly banded in April and starting to feel good/look good and ready to get back on the market lol. I would love to meet someone who has been through the banding process so they would understand and be supportive of my diet and new lifestyle Let me know!

Oh and I gained a pound so that sucks but hey it could have been way way more so I am still happy

So I had my second fill today which brings me to a total of 4ml in my 10ml band. He almost didn't give me a fill because I lost 7 pounds in a month but I told him I think I am just outside the green zone. So I got 0.5ml in today. Really hope thats all I need because I want to feel satisfied after eating not just forcing myself to stop because of the amount I have ate. Also want to cut out my snaking at night!
