I'm never got a fill because the dr said I was losing weight fine without one. I guess I'll just be starting over after the baby comes

Did u gain a lot of weight? I feel torn. I don't want to gain everything I lost right back, but I will be 35 next week, couldnt wait too much longer for a baby

Lap Band on 5/31/12 and took a HPT today and it's positive!!!!!! Lost 27 lbs so far!!!!

An anyone tell me about pregnancy and the lab band?

Went for my first fill today and they wouldn't give it to be because I stay full for 5 hours at a time. I lost 10lbs in 5 weeks which they considered optimal progress. Thought my first fill was going to jump start some faster weight loss

Getting my first fill tomorrow...... Excited and nervous! Hope he fills it way up..... Lol was banded on may 31 and have only lost 22 lbs.... I need another jump start. But am very happy with the 22lbs so far...... I finally got my waist line back

I started working out 6 days after surgery. Yes. Slime and PB are cousins..... Lol

Yea it happened to me the first few days after I started mushies. It goes away though

I'm one month out also and chicken also got stuck but in chickens defense (lol) I didn't chew it good enough. I find when something is stuck oh helps to lean over the sink and cough, it seems to move it. I have tried drinking and it only seemed to make it worse!!

How do u calculate the percentage? I'm was banded may 31 and lost 19lbs. My goal is to lose 100 but instead of saying I only lost 19 lbs I say only 81 to go. I feel like I just keep getting closer to my goal and every lb loss counts

Was wondering, did everyone who lost significant amounts of weight need plastic surgery to fix sagging skin

Great job! I was banded on may 31st and I'm down 19 lbs. The first 15 flew off within tbe first 2 weeks, the last 4 I had to work hard for but they say slow and steady wins tbe race!!!!

No, I put a hard boiled egg in for some protein or 1/4 cup of fat free feta. I ate chicken once and forgot to chew and boy did I meet mr PB!!! I haven't had my first fill yet snd I'm never hungry. I usually place 1 cup of salad into a measuring cup and it's a sad looking amount, with either one egg or cheese and 1 tbsp of dressing, it stays way under 200 calories for the meal. I had that actually at 12 and I'm still not hungry I wonder if I'll ever eat when I actually get a fill?

I'm curious, when eating salads are u supposed to eat 1/2 cup to a cup???? And if I add things to it should it all total 1 total cup??

If u have the health and fitness channel there are 2 30 min programs on a 6 and 630 am. They are gilads body in motion and the other is strength training. I dvr them and do them in the evening

I'm always under too but have lost 19lbs since may 31st. You know what the problem is with any bariatric surgery, it doesn't change your mind!! As an over weight person I always ate when I wasn't hungry, it could've been boredom or any other number of things. This is the issue that I have. I try to set my mind to having a new lifestyle and with that comes good and bad days. Over the weekend I went fof a 3 mile walk and then my husband brought home a pepperoni pizza. I wanted to eat the whole box but instead I cut myself a half of a slice. I really regretted it and felt terrible afterwards but what can u do, we are human. I don't think the half a slice set me back nor do I think the chic coveted raisins set u back either!!! Dont worry we will get there

I had a party 17 days after my surgery. I tried a whole shrimp and it really didn't go down well so I cut the shrimp into 3 pieces and it was fine! Just make sure to chew well. U can mush anything in ur mouth if u chew it enough but I'm not recommending that

I was told 2 days of full Liquid after a fill followed by 2 days of mushies!!

It's hard when your used to eating a certain way and then suddenly stop. When my husband snd I spend all day out with the kids, we would always get take out before we came home. Now they get take out and I come home and eat something else. The first time there was a Dominos pie in my house I cried cause I couldnt eat it but I'm a little more focused now!!

I also eat 2 egg whites with 2 to 3 turkey sausage links for breakfast. I eat greek yogurt if i dont feel like making breakfast. I have discovered morningstar veggie patties which taste amazing and they are only 150 calories! I make shrimp and broccoli all the time. It's less than 100 calories for a cup! I'm still in between surgery and my first fill but have a pretty good restriction already! I have tried to eat everything except carbs like rice, pasta, potatoes, breads, cereals, I've had none of that stuff yet. Someone suggested to me that when I feel I want to "cheat" to have a weight watchers or lean cuisine meal...... I'm dying for pizza!!!! Lol

I was told to watch the carbs. My nutritionist said 3 oz of Protein m, 1/2 cup of veggies and 2 tablespoons of rice or Pasta only if u have room after the protein and veggies. I was told I can have 1 slice of whole wheat toast or 2 to 3 crackers but I can't eat just 3 crackers so I don't even bother. The carbs that I do eat are whatever is in a Protein shake or yogurt. I was banded on may 31 St and I don't think I have eaten any pasta, rice, or bread since. I've been very lucky! I have no fill yet and a pretty good restriction. My nutritionist also said never eat more than 1 cup of food at a time!!!!

I'm not eating anything near that and the weight loss is so slow

I was wondering, if your counting calories how many are u eating WITH successful weight loss??? I'm aiming for 809 but almost never get there because I'm never hungry and I haven't even had my first fill yet

June 5 was ur surgery date then you should still be on liquids and mushy foods.
