not loosing weight... :(



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I am new to this lap band site. I had the lap band on Jan 24 2011, and have not lost a lbs since feb 18.. I am down 21 lbs but sooo frustrated at this point. I have had one fill, and will be getting my next one tomorrow. Any suggestions to get the ball rolling again?

thanks smile.gif

I highly reccomend you start working out if your not already. It is key for weight loss. Start out slow and gradually increase your duration/intensity. Also, be sure to get all your protien in, at least 60 gms. You also want at least 64 oz of fluids (caffinated doesn't count). I also ate very low carb and low fat while I was loosing. Lots of lean meat and non starchy veggies. Hope this helps and good luck.

Are you working out? Are you eating 1200 calories or less a day? If you don't know you have to record it in a food journal. It's not going to do that work for you :). It's very easy to overeat, or eat the wrong things and not lose weight and just break even.

      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.
