From all that I've read it's very hard for lapbanders to lose after the first year. I'm determined to get what I need off in a year. Not sure why this is.

That is what I’m looking for. is ideas, my current plan is back to basics, shakes in morn and lunch, i have gotten in a bad habit of not doing any Breakfast or lunch then I’ll do dinner then will eat something before bed, so i know what i been doing wrong or most of it, but welcome thoughts and ideas.

wow, 3cc at once that is a big fill i got 3 once last nov 2 weeks before thanksgiving wow that one really did it for me, you should see a big difference now, once you come off mashies (if you dr makes you do that after a fill) you may get stuck more than before, it took me almost a month to adjust to that large fill, that being said, we all know it's different for all of us.

I'm almost 9 months out. I've lost 80lbs but I have hit a plateau for the past month. I still have 50lbs to reach my goal (well,52). I exercise at least 5 days a week. I use a heart rate monitor and I track every bite I put in my mouth. I stay around 1200 calories because when I go too low I don't have enough energy to workout as hard as I like (I'm talking burning 250 calories is a bad day. I usually burn between 500 and 800 depending on the workout). I can't figure out what to do to keep the scale moving. I do have a fill scheduled for next week.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
