So I had the lap band two years ago and it doesn't seem to be working that well. My doctor brought up to me today to get the gastric sleeve. What to do. What to do. I wish it wasn't so hard to fight food addiction.

Yes I count my protein shakes as calories. I think my band is too tight as well. So we shall see on a month what the doctor wants to to. I hope I fine my sweet spot soon n start dropping lbs.

I weigh more now then before I got banded. I did lose 50 lbs but gained it back. I have no idea what I want at this point. It does suck.

I eat to get calories in. I do drink protein shakes alot. Cuz I can't keep most regular food down. I burn about 800 calories at the gym doing Zumba n piloxing each day. Well sept this week cuz I'm sick.

Yes I use myfitnesspal app on my phone. And I'm only eating 1000 calories a day. I was told to bump it up to 1200.

I was committed and lost track. But now I'm back on track eating right and exercising and I'm still not losing weight. I'm trying my hardest to get back on track like I was before but going to the gym six times a week and not seeing any results is discouraging.

Fatter then before surgery. 273lbs wanting to get to 160lbs. But started the gym n I'm doing piloxing n Zumba n I'm hell bend on getting to my goal weight!!!

Thank you!! It's just ashame that I finally got the understanding after I gained all my weight back lol. Better late then never.

Got banded jan 2011. Lost only 50lbs n I put on all of my weight n then some. I am currently at 8cc in my band. Throw up constantly. I can't stop eating **** n over eating. I just joined the gym but can't get back on track eating right. I have no willpower. Also not having a job isn't any help. Idle hands means I'm bored n I graze. I'm sick of being fat but can't seem to care enough to get started. Ugh

Thank you guys. I'm sure my se will take fluid out

Thanx. Yea I think I'm too tight too but I'm scared to gain more weight if I take fluid out. I do go to counseling already. Maybe ill just bring up the food addiction next session. I'm just a mess in general. I'm gonna go to the gym n blow off steam

I had X-rays. It didn't slip. N I see him on the 22nd. Thank you. Yes I'm so upset. With myself mainly.

Anyone from down in south jersey?!

congrats!! i cant wait till ive lost that much! i kinda know what you mean im only 6 months post op and ive only lost 45lbs, i dunno if that is good or not. im sill not making the best food choices, and im a midnight snack sneaker, but ive been cutting back. if your vomiting from pureed Soup your band might be too tight? not sure, just seems odd. i havent vomited yet, hope that doesnt happen. i only have 7.5mls of Fluid in my band though. as for the addicion thing, i have no idea. i just want to stop thinking about food. its sick. i used to eat till i couldnt even taste it anymore. ugh. well good luck and congrats, be proud of yourself!

food scale <------ link for store i so recommend this. this week its on sale at best buy (at least in my area). its easy to use. good luck!

ok thankx. yea before i had the band i couldnt even eat that much.

im reading all these horror stories on here about how some people havent lost weight. this is scaring me. i read that one doctors article, im just hoping this doesnt happen to me. ill be devastated. i havent had my first fill yet. i was banded on 1/3/11. my only issues are im having trouble drinking enough water and i still want to eat. ive lost 10lbs. i hope it starts melting off soon.

you're welcome! good luck!

dont beat yourself up! you're gonna cheat here and there. we are human. we are addicted to food or we wouldnt be doing this. just dont be maxing out credit cards at mcdonalds and you'll be fine. lol. this will make you feel better... the night before my surgery i had my favorite dinner... steak with mashed potatoes and corn on the cob. you'll live! just stay positive. its hard i know. good luck love.

ive only lost 10lbs since surgery(about 3 weeks ago). so that upsets me. im on meds also. depakote and pristiq. im bi-polar so i DEFINITELY know what you mean about roller coaster and it affecting your life. i dont have much advice for the weight loss cause im still trying to figure my own out. but with the moods. try and keep a mood diary with you, like what days you felt what. i had to do that for awhile. its annoying but it helped. take it to your doctor and see what they say. also i cant take birth control because it makes me go insane (more then i already am) haha. sorry im not too good with advice. good luck though! im here if you need to vent.

that happens to me sometimes. i cant find a pattern of food or anything. it might be over eating or gas. those are my 2 guesses. good luck!
