HI, I had the lapband on April 4th. I started at 208 lbs and am now at 194 lbs. I had 2cc's on my first fill and will have my 2nd fill on the 2nd of July.

The weight isn't coming off as fast as I would like and I now find myself cheating(sweets). I'm hoping to see faster and more consistant loss after this next fill.

I'd like to know what most of you eat on an average day to help me on my course. :confused2:

Hi there,

I usually eat half a south beach tv dinner for Breakfast and the other for lunch. Then I usually eat half a ham sandwich with mustard as a midday meal and usually determine my dinner based on how many calories I have left. I try to stay between 1000-1200 per day. I have a bigger band, so you might find that others will eat a lot lesser than me. Try looking in the blog section. You will find that some people like to use that section to track what they eat.

I try to keep it low carb, Atkins southbeach etc. this really works for me. I am a junk food junkie too. I try to give myself treats to reward myself. If you continue eating it your weight loss will be slowed. Its so hard to give up these things, but I had to tell my self that i didnt go through surgery to keep eating those things. for Breakfast i usually eat a scrambled egg and 2 turkey link sausages, lunch 2 pieces of turkey breast lunch meat and a 1/2 slice of cheese, and dineer a piece of Protein and some veggies.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
