Wow!! Congratulations...keep up the good work!

Hello bandsters!! I have 5cc's in a 10cc band and feel no restriction. I was at the doctor on yesterday and told him i felt no restriction; however, since i lost 11lbs in a month in a half he wouldn't give me more.

Jennifer please let me know if that helps!

@Mis73...did u gain weight while increasing your calories?

What is the 5 day pouch test?

Can u say frustrated? Ugh!!! I've had no change in one and a half months...i'm maintaining my calorie count in addition to walking/exercising 4-5 weeks...still no change...what am i to do?

I know it's not an easy walk in the park; however, i hate exercising. I'm working harder than i thought i would be. I'm now losing a pound or two every two-three weeks and i see some people losing 3 per week. Not that easy for me. I don't count calories and haven't had a fill but i'll keep pressing my way for better results. Thanks for sharing!!

Jayeedee...have you set any goals, are you exercising, counting calories and eating right? Just wondering because i'm walking everyday and it seems that my weight loss is slow.

Great work everyone! Are you guys exercising and counting calories?

Any tips on a job well done?

Sometimes i feel the same way...encourage yourself instead of beating yourself up...we can do it!!! GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Thanks guys!!

What are some breakfast foods that are high in protein?

I am 3 weeks post op today!! I had lap band with plication on Jan. 27, 2012. My weight the day of surgery was 230 and today i am 206...job well done...if you compare your success to others, you may not be losing as they are and this becomes depressing. Follow your guidelines, eat right, exercise and stay motivated...I walk 4 days per week for 45 mins and ride the exercise bike for 30 mins 2 days per week...good luck on your journey...i am happy so far!

I will be two weeks post op on Friday Feb. 10, 2012. My original weight was 229...1 week post op i was 206...and i started on mashed potatoes this week and i've gained 2 lbs...current weight 208....although i haven't had much exercise, i was a little disappointed about gaining...
