    2.5 Months Out. Plateau. Ugh.

    I was getting frustrated also, walking everyday, going to the gym 6-7 days a week, hungry between meals. The nutritionist informed me that it was called "lap-band hell" and it could take 4-6 fills until it gets to the green zone (which is 24-36 weeks! if anyone is counting lol). But I got the band for the "consequences", cant get a case of the F-its. I was measured at the gym tonight after a month, I lost 8 lbs & 7.5 inches for a total of 33 since 07/19/12, so not too shabby. I have to remember this when I get the feelings that this isnt working. I get my 2nd fill 10/8/12, I have no idea how much is in there now, I just know its not enough lol but it will change . GOOD LUCK all

    I eat sugar free oatmeal for breakfast or egg beaters eggwhites with turkey sausage. I have no problem with tight band in the morning, (1st fill was 8/28) but my nutrionist said that some people have a cup of decaf tea or coffee or warm water as soon as getting up in the morning usually helps
  4. really coming to love this forum, so many of my concerns are answered here. My pre-op I lost 12 & post-op I lost another 12. Since then I have lost another 7. My surgery was 7/19 1st fill was 8/28, very easy to get frustrated but I am going to up my workouts

    Hiya All... Newbie

    had my surgery 7/19/12 i'm down 30 lbs & very happy I did this, only regret is I didnt do it sooner. Good Luck
  6. Wow I just joined & am so glad I did . I was banded 7/19/12, I lost 12 pounds on pre-op diet 12 more lost in the 2 weeks after surgery and only 6 pounds since then. My 1st fill was 8/28/12 and I was so hungry right after. But I am making the mistake of weighing myself daily :wub: , because of the above replies, that will stop today. I am getting frustrated too but I am so glad that I now have "consequences" (as I like to call my band). Normally I would do a diet, start off great, lose some weight then hit a "wall" and give up. There is no giving up with the band for me. I am learning how and what to eat and getting active in working my butt off :ph34r: (literally!). I am still researching band sites for more input and support here and with friends is so helpful
