I was banded 11/9/12 and only lost 48lbs. I'm actually starting to gain back...... I have Facebook friend who swears by Advocare. She has lost 70 pounds since January.....4 months!!! She sent me the link and told me to order through her but I haven't ordered yet because I wanted to get on here and see if any other banded people have tried Advocare and what were your results. Thanks

I see you have tried Advocare. Did you do the 24 day challenge? I was thinking about buying the bundle. I am banded but only lost 48 lbs. since 11/9/12 and I have started to gain weight back. I was looking into the Advocare program because I know someone who has lost 70 lbs since January.......what.......4 months or so. Any information would be great!! Thanks

I see that you tried Advocare. Did you have any results with the program? I have the band but I lost 48 lbs. and started gaining back. I was thinking of trying Advocare.

Has anyone tried Arbonne Fizz Enery Drinks??? I'm wondering if they are carbonated or not. Yes they fizz when you mix the packet with 8oz. of water but the fizz goes away and I don't see any bubbles.

Have any of you flown with your band filled? I had 9cc's in and they took out 3cc's the other day because we are going on vacation in a few weeks. Something about getting tighter during flight. Anyone ever expierence this?

I have had my band since 11/9/12. (4-5 months out) Went to the doctor's last week and the nurse didn't want to give me a fill because the scale showed that I was still loosing. I've never expierenced vomiting yet which makes me wonder if I'm too loose. For a while I was eating the same ol' things like oatmeal, protein bars, half sandwhiches with cup of soup, fish, chicken ect. Here lately I feel like I'm eating everything in site.....even when I'm not hungry. Snacking seems to be an issue too. How do some of you stay on track? I know the band is just a "tool" but I feel like since I haven't had any "side effects", I feel like I can just continue to eat. Trying to stop once full isn't easy when all your life you like to eat because it taste good. Help????

HELP!!! Starting to feel like I can eat just about anything in site. For those of you that have done very well, did you follow any certain diet plan? Getting tired of oatmeal, protein bars, fish, half sandwhiches and soups. I'm finding myself eating other stuff but I feel like I'm eating more than I should. Not because of hunger....just because.

From the album: Journey
I've decided that I will take photos every 3 months. In the first set here I took a photo right when I started the 2 week liquid diet. (338 lbs.) The second photo was taken the day after my surgery. (down 17 lbs.) The third photo was taken on 2/9/13, 3 months after the band. Down 38 pounds. (300 lbs.) I will take another photo in May. -

Would like to ask how some of you make your side by side photos? Is there a site you go to?

Feeling down and out. Having trouble finding a job. Was laid off in 2010 after working for 16yrs. I sometimes wonder if I'm being judged by the way I look -vs- employment history. Hope insurance comes through for me soon.

Thanks for sharing your pictures. You have given me so much to look forward to. Love the idea of taking photos month to month to show your progress. I will have to do this too. -
Last week I met with the counselor and nutritionist. The nutritionist visit when well but the counselor/physch visit was almost like they are telling you that when you lose weight, your personal relationships will change. Almost as if she's predicting that I will want to leave my husband for someone else. It was a long unpleasant visit but I stuck it out and spoke my mind. I don't have any appointments scheduled for the month of September. October 1ST I'm suppose to go to some exercise class where they will monitor my skills/ability to exercise and see how far I can go. No one can tell me about this class in the office because it's something new that just started. It will be my luck that I will be on the two week liquid diet right around the Thanksgiving Holiday.

I've been seeing my doctor once a month for the past 5 months. My 6TH appointment is scheduled for 8/8/12. My consultation appointment at UC is 8/2/12.......next week!! I'm starting to get nervous and hope all goes well. I really want this procedure to go through and I'm hoping that I'm not told I can't for some reason. What is expected at this 3 hour consultation appointment? My mom had gastric by-pass but I'm looking into having the lap-band. I heard there is some other procedure called the sleeve, but I don't know much about it. I seen what my mom went through after having gastric and seen that loosing weight too fast causes you to have access skin. I just hope I'm making the right decision with having the lap band procedure. Can anyone tell me how long after your consultation that surgery would take place? Thanks
