Hi, I had lapband surgery on January 22, 2009. I am losing more inches than pounds any suggestions?:thumbup: My doctors office gave me a small list of foods to eat. I need to know more about what foods I can eat, I know what I can not eat. Thanks Ladythin

I was banded on 9/30/08

I've found I loose inches and then pounds.

I thought this was strange too but as far as I am concerned as long as I am loosing inches or pounds I'm doing great.

I know we put alot of emphesis on pounds but the inches are also impportant.

It's seems to be an ebb and flow for me as far as the inches and pounds are concerned.

:thumbup:

I don't know why this is the way it is but this has been true for me.

Make sure you're getting good nutrition and exercising and I'm sure you'll find this will always even out.

Good luck:thumbup:

Exercise will replace fat with muscle

Thanks so much for the encouragement, I really needed it. I went on the internet last night and I was reading that the when you lose inches the body is restructing. that was good to hear. I haven't been exercising that could be another factor.

Take care and hope I hear from you again.
