I got the Lapband in early December 2011. I lost 5 pounds the first week on the liquid diet. Once I moved to soft foods, I stopped losing. It's now almost March and I have yo-yoed back and forth with those 5 pounds. I've had two fills. The first didn't make a difference, I could eat as much as I was hungry for. The second fill is tighter and I throw-up if I eat too fast but I'm still so hungry. I track food daily on myfitnesspal.com and I exercise 6 days a week. I see on my food tracking that I just eat too many calories (although they are mostly good, whole food calories). When I limit my calories for more than four days, I get too exhausted to exercise and get so overwrought, I eat the wrong foods. This was my problem before the lapband, too (although then I could diet for longer stretch of time). I keep reading about all these people who have lost so much weight with the lapband. Has anyone struggled at the beginning like I have and then gone on to lose a lot of weight? Or, am I just part of that 5% that don't lose with the lapband? Has anyone joined Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem, or Weight Watchers to support the lapband? Any advice at all would be helpful. Thanks!
