I was banded oct 15 and I feel fantastic. The last month I havent been exercising as much as I should or have been. Im at 65lbs and staying steady at about 2 to 3 lbs a week. Closer to 2 but 3 or more when I workout 5 days a week. Getting back on the workout plan. Its just been a tough month with being sick and stuff.

I hope everyone stays positive! We are all different and any loss is a huge step forward.

Hi all

great to hear your all doing well, but on the down side I am really depressed that I am not losing anything now. I try my best at keeping mobile but pain is my problem. I did explain to consultant that I am not the healthest eater but was gauranteed that the lapband was about portions rather than what you eat.

Keep up the good work girls x x x

Hi ladies -

I was banded 10/18/10, I have 3cc in a 10cc band, my doctor is ultra conservitive. I have lost 64.8 pounds and feel AMAZING... I work out about 4 times a week, Zumba, weights and Water aerobics - I am loving it.

My eating is pretty tame, low low carb, high Protein - it works for me.

I'm happy everyone is doing so well

I was banded Oct. 7, since then I've lost 75lbs. For the first couple months I really didn't have my head in the game and was pretty much doing what I wanted. In late January I decided to get serious.

Hi All great to hear you all doing so well, I have lost 28lbs since october and had 3 fills. finding it very difficult to eat alot of foods, having hiccups all the time, due to disabilities maybe thats why it's taking longer to loose :-(

I was banded Oct 29 and lost 42 pounds easily, but I too am stuck. I'm scared to add Fluid due to food occasionally getting stuck.

I am in the same boat was banded 10/28/10 lost 82 lbs started at 277 got down to 195 and then found my fill was too tight so they completely unfilled me. I have had two fills since then and I am stuck back up at 206-209 but it seems like I am eating way more than I should be able to....also I do extreme excerxising so I am leery to get another fill because it seems like I cant get enough calories in for the excercising I am doing so I am in a quandry....please give me any suggestions possible!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
