Well when tommorrow hits, it will be one year since my Lapband Sugery.

Honestly I'm thrilled with the results, but I'm been real bummed out for the last 6 months.

I've really been hovering around the 100 pound mark.

I'm really struggling to figure out how to break 100 pounds and lose again. I'm been adjusted out the whazoo.

So I guess I'm just impressed that it has been a year but know I still have a lot of work to do, and just trying to figure out how to see more results.

100 lbs in a year is fantastic! I understand how frustrating a long plateau is, but you're a 10 year old smaller than you were a year ago!

First, GREAT JOB! Woo Hoo! This is a very long road sometimes and you are doing great making your way.

I think sometimes we tend to eat the same stuff over and over. Try to change it up a bit. Try drinking a few extra Protein shakes. Drink extra Water for a couple days. If you eat salad every day for lunch switch to chili for a couple days. Sometimes just mixing up the diet breaks a plateau.

100 pounds is amazing. Pat yourself on the back for your accomplishment and keep marching ahead. Could you add a little more activity or maybe more Protein into the diet???

100 pounds is an amazing loss! Congratulations!

Are you exercising? If not, now is the time to start. It will jumpstart your loss.

If you are, try changing your routine a bit.

One of the women who works at my doctors office weighed nearly 600 pounds before she was banded. She said that she has lost 300 pounds in 2 1/2 years. She told me that it is a slow process when you have a lot to lose. Your body has done well so far. I bet if you got a really good exercise program that you stick with and speak to a nutritionist you can get on track to lose another 100 in a year.

Congrats!!! 100 pounds in a year is awesome...its a lot easier to loose weight when you have a few hundred to loose as i found out the more you loose the tougher it is.......someone who has to loose 100 pounds can loose 20 pounds quicker and easier than someone who has to loose 20 pounds..... your doing great keep up good work :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
