Well, as of 07-03-2012 it's been a year since my surgery. I'm down 62lbs, still got a lot to go though. I've fallen off the wagon a few times and haven't been as dedicated as I should have been. But all in all I'm glad I got the lap band. I couldn't have lost the weight I have without it!

If you hate exercise and want to get to a toned goal - you better learn to stop hating exercise... The replacement to exercise is that there is no replacement to exercise...

Awesome job...and I second what Jim1967 said!

So far things are going as advertised, just need to stay with not rushing my meals and smaller bites. I have lost about 45lbs since surgery day March 20th.
Breakfast is my biggest problem. Things never go as planned.

I'm going to try to go to see the doc Tom, they should fit me in if I'm worried that it slipped. We will see. Thank you all!

I had something like this happen when I went to my Dr he told me it is hard for the band to slip anymore you might of ate somethingthat didnt go down right try pineapple juice it helps me

well, just go and do it
eat better and be positive..you are the only one who can do this for you.
you deserve it..so start now
was that okay??

You are going to be more likely to stick with your exercise plan if you choose something you enjoy doing. For me this is walking, yoga, and Water aerobics. Right now I'm back at yoga after recovering from an injury. I am considering taking a weight lifting class so I can be stronger for my yoga class.

So I did just come back from seeing the surgeon. He said it most likely slipped. Since I do live kinda far he decided it would be best to empty it and for me to come back in 4 weeks to start filling it again. There was actually 4.8 cc in. I wasn't aware he put some in during surgery too. I was told usually it can just fix itself. I was told I have been losing about 2 lbs a week since surgery. I still avoid stepping on the scale.< /p>

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree here.
What you say is all true, about learning to eat and live with the band and even coddling people. However, it is very possible she's too tight even with only 2cc in her band. I know of people with totally empty bands who are still on the tight side, especially early in their lap band journey.
Btw, it makes sense she can eat bad foods but not healthy foods. Most of the "bad foods" are actually slider foods. Processed foods dissolve super fast so slide right through the band almost like a liquid. I know I could eat a pint of ice cream followed by a dozen Cookies with ease, but if I'm not careful with my bites I will easily get stuck on chicken. Same with chips, total slider foods.
The bottom line is, she needs to talk to her doctor immediately. Let him figure out if she's too tight or simply not following the rules but either way seeing her surgeon is a must.

I'm looking for some high protine Breakfast ideas. I'm so sick of eggs!!! Anyone have some ideas for a high protine low carb breakfast that possible doesn't involve eggs! ))

Some days my band is so tight I can hardly eat anything without getting stuck. And other days I feel like I need a fill! But drinking something Hot does help. And in the mornings its the worst.

Girl preach on!!!
I totally agree. I've lost almost 150 pounds, I still have over 100 to go, and let me tell you not a single moment of it has been remotely "easy". Four weeks of liquids post op, measuring every thing I eat and logging every single calorie for the last 9 months. Don't even get me started on sitting at a restaurant frantically looking up food on Lose It to try to order something that won't bust my daily calorie budget. Or worse, praying I don't get stuck while eating in public.
I had a birthday party for my son here this past weekend. My house was stuffed with cake, candy, chips, ice cream, and pizza. I had a single piece of pizza for dinner and small piece of cake, which is great. The problem is, all the leftovers don't just poof when the guests do, so I was left with a kitchen that turned into one big binge temptation. Yesterday I finally couldn't take it and threw it all out.
And the expense!! I have had to replace my entire wardrobe a couple times. I even had to replace every single pair of shoes I owned. Fall came and I didn't have a single long sleeved shirt or even a sweater that wasn't 6 sizes too big. Because I'm not done losing, I'll have to replace it all yet again come spring. I love shrinking sizes but it's not cheap!!
I love my band and would do it again in a heart beat, but nothing about it has been "the easy way out".
