Congratulations!!! I also had LapBand in November 2016. Just had my 2nd fill and down 30 pounds. I feel so much better already. One of the best life choices I made. Stay positive and strong.

Thanks y'all, I've been very happy with my band so far.

@@weneebug it will happen, just seems to take a little more patience then we want to give at times. But it will happen.

Congratulations @@Banded_Beauty!!! I'm at a stall right now I'm 7 weeks post op, down 12 lbs. feeling good but hope to see the scale drop some more. Christmas was a bit challenging but so much better than previous years! I've started exercising, 30-40 mins per day, so things should turn around. I go for my 2nd fill in Jan 20th. At this point I only have 3.5 cc's so hopefully that top up will help. You should be proud!!! Way to go. I would love to stay connected congrats!! You will inspire me

Thank you!! @@jcordova204 please let's keep in touch! I know the more people I can talk to that is in the same boat as myself makes such a difference. I actually think I may be in my green zone finally. I lost 2 more lbs already. I'm at 5cc's. I really feel full most of my morning until afternoon. I make myself drink my Protein shake though. But food isn't on my mind until 12-1pm. I hope to encourage everyone and we can all "band" together and help each other out when we struggle thru. This really has been the best decision I have made for myself.

I am still at a stall and it is driving me crazy. Joined a gym and started working out. Totally changed my eating habits but the scales are just not moving. I am choosing better foods but still have an issue with Portion Control. I go on the 24th for my next fill. I only have 2cc right now.

So I can eat raw cauliflower and baby carrots fairly easily.. do you think this means that I definitely need more fill? I only have 3.5 cc's and am not losing weight.. I have been stalled between 11/12 lbs for the last two (almost three).any thoughts?

I would defiantly get another fill. You may still be able to eat those things just fine but not losing weight would defiantly make me go back for another fill asap.

      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.
