eat good/healthy protein/veggie type foods

and eat the every so often type foods, every so often.

just make better choices in your foods.

Well ya can't move it down with crappy food my friend. Up your Protein and leave the crappy food alone. You will find that crappy food aint so snappy.

I had similar results after 3.5 months(12 lbs/5 kgs?). Then, I met with a bariatrics dietician and she made some recommendations that turned me in the right direction. Learning how to eat the lapband way is crucial. Understanding how the band works and what foods provide that level of satiety that gets us from one meal to the next is so important.

Crappy food usually means processed foods. Eating fresh meats, vegetables and fruit can get boring and the amount of time for food prep goes up but the reward is more weight loss.

My band is still tempermental. Mostly it's me. I sometimes eat too fast or take large bites of food that get stuck. Mornings can be the most difficult times. But as time goes along, you learn to slow down and eat smaller. Have a visit with your doctor's nutritionist/dietician and he/she can help guide you to a healthier life.

Today it's 2 years and 5 months since my lapband surgery. I've lost 125 pounds an no longer am I diabetic

Only had one fill 6 months after surgery

I eat anything I want, just a lot less

I go to the gym 3 times a week, something I could never do before the surgery

Only regret is not doing it sooner

It's so simple

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
