How can it get too tight after a few mos?

I have found that every time u throw up the band will tighten . I also find changes in the weather will affect my band

There will be times when u just. Must give into cravings so don't dwell on what is already done just focus on the big picture I look at what I weight I have kept off

Hang in there I know those shakes are hard to have for 10 days take a picture of yourself and tell yourself that u will not look like that again it helps me especially when I think I am falling of the wagon

114 lbs since Aug 2011

Protein is the key get all your protein. I find that if I don't get all my protein I gain weight

ask yourself which would u rather be healthier and weigh less or not have scars? I take the health

There will always be times when that scale will not move. I always look at how far I've come and take it one day at a time. Don't let anyone tell you there won't be setbacks because there will. Remember it is not always about the scale.

cool I have made up my mind to walk 5 miles per day next year It is a goal that is attainable.

M Dr said the port is attached to the muscle so you are probably just sore for the muscle hurting

Don't give up. It has taken me a month to break a plateau and start lossing again. It took me 15mos to lose 94lbs. I have always had it in my mind its not about how much weight I have lost It is being able to keep it off. I have gotten out of weighing myself every day so now I only weigh 3 times a week. It is the baby steps we take that will make us all a sucess.

good luck and keep up the good work

I am 15 mos out and some food smells still make me want to gag. It's not always the same food,. Being banded is a continuing learning process. I learn something new all the time

Get yourself smaller plates and eating utensils and measure, measure

I have had the same issue I had to have a little Fluid removed from my band so I could eat. My band is always a little tight first thing in the morning, sometimes hot liquid wlll help with that

thanks for the good information

I gave up smoking 18 mos ago. I decided I wanted the lap band more than I wanted the Cig. Not smoking was one of my ins requirements. You have to decide for yourself what is more important Health or smoking

I hear that drinking pineapple juice or a warm liquid helps

I got my first fill 4 weeks after surgery

I am 11months banded and still have to remind myself to take small bites and eat slow

_{cheese sticks are good too}

I just had to get some Fluid out of my band because of the acid reflux I aquired for the first time since surgery 1 year ago and so far so good. I have to take zantac 150 at night and a Proclex in the moring for 2 weeks

try this web site it gives tips and reciepes for people who have had the lap band surgery

Mine's on the right

you still have us

It's not how fast you loss the weight. I look at it as I keep off the weight and that is what I strive for. Keeping off what I have lost and losing more. The weight did not come onto our bodies overnight and it will not disappear overnight

Just keep on doing what you are doing and don't give up

I just put Unjury Protein Powder in my Water before going to the gym . Then I always take string cheese if I am going to be there a while
