Hello everyone, It has been a while since I have been on here. Like everyone else my weight loss has stalled and I gained weight over the holidays. I have had trouble finding the right restriction and have been very frustrated with my lap band. Have had two unfills due to being stuck and dehydration. I am back on my exercise and eating plan and hope to do well over the new year. So far I have lost 50lbs since my Aug 16, surgery so I feel good about that. Take care everyone.

Hi All, I am not doing that great this week. I was doing very well but with my wilpower and motivation only. Went on vacation with family and ate way too much this holiday. I am scared to get on the scale. Hopefully my third fill in Dec will help to motivate me through Xmas. We all just have to keep working at this and not lose our hope at weight loss. Take care

congrats! Glad everything is ok.

. Take care Wow that is an awsome amount of weight you have lost. You should be soooo proud of yourself. Congrats I am happy and jealous

Don't feel too bad that happens to me a lot. I just try to only way once a week on Fri it is the only date that I actually record my weight. I think we are all obsessed with the scale right now. You are doing great keep up the good work!

Hi Everyone, I went to the Dr and he said I was swollen from the band getting stuck. He took a little out and said that should help. I could not even drink water and was getting dehydrated. The relief was immediate. I lost 10.5lbs in 7 days. I do not want to feel like that ever again it was awful. On the good side I have now lost 51 lbs since surgery. 50 was my xmas goal. I am very happy about that. Thanks for your support, I feel so much better.

Hi everyone, I have not been on here in a while had my 2nd fill last wed and was doing great,down 43 lbs.Then on sun am I ate some eggs and turkey sausage, I got stuck real bad. I have not been able to eat much since then maybe 1 protein shake a day and a little water. I don;t want to get an unfill. Do you think I am just swollen and this will get back to normal. I would apreciate any info you can give. Thanks so much . I hope everyone else is doing well.

Dee, Good for you in reaching out and getting the help you need. I am sorry your Dr;s office does not have a strong support staff. 100lbs in a year is an awsome goal. I know you can do it. Mine is 80lbs, and I have stepped up my excercise and strength traing to try and reach it. I know the suppport we give each other is a key to our success. Keep fighting the fight we will succeed.

Its so good to read these posts. I am the same as everyone else I can only eat a little in the morning, but as the day goes along I can eat a whole lot more. It takes more and more to fill me up. I really have to restrain myself and chose wisely.

I feel the same way as all of you. I am eating too much and not getting enough exercise. I try to watch my portion size but i get hungry and the worst thing is I can still eat anything as long as I chew it slowly. I am with you I thing we should all start frest again . Thanks everyone for all of your support I really need it.

I guess we are all going through the same thing. I do need to suck it up and just keep on trying, even though it does feel like I paid a lot of money for this lap band diet.

I know even with my fill I am eating way too much. I think exercise is the only thing that is keeping me from gaining. It does get discouraging.
