Thanks for the info! I appreciate it.

I just cut out all breads and rice a week ago, What do you think of greek yogurt?

I do exercise, I'll change some foods in my diet. Thanks G75funk

Good Job! Did you ever get frustrated when you stopped losing? I havent lost for a months and im kinda getting frustrated.

Hello Everyone!! I got banded June 27, I personally have lost 100 lbs to date. But for some reason I havent lost in the past month. I wonder how everyone else is doing?

Hi, Check these websites, http://www.lapband.com/en/live_healthy_lapband/lapband_recipe_box/overview/ http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/cookbooks.asp?cookbook=47556 Good Luck and Keep up the good job!

Thats great! Keep it up and congrats!

If its a hassle doing a food journal, you should try some of the apps they have for smart phones.

Do you keep a food journal?

Just keep being positive! You could do it!!! Good Luck

Melissa, I got banded last June and I know what you mean. For a couple of weeks I didnt lose weight at all. I then talked to my dietician and we went over my food journal. After looking at it, she told me to cut back on the fresh fruit and not comsume alot of it. That made the difference. Just keep it up and congrats on the weightloss

My soreness lasted 7 days, don't worry you'll be back to normal in no time and you'll start seeing some results aslong as you follow the diet. I don't know what protein shake you having but I recommend Labrada. Good Luck!

Its been 7 months since I started my weight loss journey. I had the Lapband surgery and I'm happy to say I'm down 100 lbs. What I been learning along my journey is slowly but surely if we don't give up and follow the Dr. advice.

Congrats! Just make sure to drink liquids to stay hydrated.

Don't be hard on yourself, Do you count calories or are you seeing a nutricianist? I see one and it helps cause I keep a food journal and if, i dont lose in a months she will go over my journal.

I agree with your post Michael. I got banded 6/2011 and to date I've lost 93 lbs.

Thanks for sharing your story. Good luck with the band. I have been banded for 5 months now and I'm loving the band. Hope one day I'm able to write about my weight loss journey and help people that need support. Wish you the best

Krysten, If i could be of some sort of help let me know. I was banded 5 months ago.

I had my first fill since having the band. I have to say it wasn't as bad, as I have read.

Ms Ann, Next time you see the goodies think about the hard work you put in at Curves and say is it really worth it! Keep up the good work

Sorry to hear that, but all bodies are different, just stay positive, patient. Good Luck!

Hello Ashly! Well I like my LB, It has been good and I'm seeing results. Who did your surgery?

Ms. I'm here to listen!

I recommend this book, Is Lap Band Surgery for Me?: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Lasting Weight Loss.

At my support meeting, they have a clothes exchange every month. Maybe you could get in contact with the facility where they do the meeting and set one up.
