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.

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.

      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.
