Janet Fleming 0 Posted June 18, 2012 I had my lapband done in November. I have lost 50 lbs but most of the loss was the initial post op diet they put me on. I have gone for a fil pretty much every month and think I still am not where I need to be with feeling full. Other then that, I am glad I did it. I live in Putnam County, I dont know how far "Upstate" you are, but I can be a buddy and answer questions if you hav any andjust be supportive ! It gets easier !

Janet Fleming 0 Posted June 18, 2012 OH forgot BIG tip , buy milk powder and add it to the Protein Shakes, yougurt, baby, food, anywhere you can to add Protein. The best is get wonton Soup from chinese take out without the wonton ( they will give you a quart for like $1.25) and then add milk powder, it makes it creamy and protein boosted.

Janet Fleming 0 Posted July 11, 2012 hi moni, have you gone back for a fill ? that should help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moni75 22 Posted July 11, 2012 Hi Janet, yes I have gone in for a few fills. But during my pregnancy the baby was so big I think it caused my port to tilt. So I dread getting fills because they have a hard time getting to my port. I gained 40 lbs & really need to get off my but & get it together. I made an appointment for the morning to speak to Jody and get some motivation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
