Does your PCP just not want to give you one? That totally sucks....is changing PCP's an option? It just seems so ridiculous for him/her not to give you the letter......I'm so sorry

Banded December 17th last year ~ 3 days until 7 months post op! Down 103 lbs, had one fill back in January...I didn't do a pre op diet..hope everyone is well

We were banded the same day! Congrats!

I'm lucky if I get in 800 calories a day, I'm one week short of 7 months post op. I stay away from processed foods and eat lean proteins, veggies and fruit.....I always get in between 100 and 120 oz of water a day. I just had my labs done a few weeks ago and my doc said everything looks great. Like Missy said everyone's nutritional needs are different, this works for me. I hope you find what works for you. Best Wishes

I love it!

You look fabulous!! Congrats!!

Great job everyone!!! I'm 101 lb's down with one fill back in January...feeling fantastic

You look amazing!! Fabulous job!

You look fabulous girl!!!

Great news Karen, congrats and Best Wishes!!

I can't really add to the wise words of Jim but stick at it, it will happen and Best Wishes

You body will definitely benefit from whole natural foods, lean meat and fish, fresh fruit and veggies, healthy whole grains, a lot of water, your body will thank you for it...processed, chemical ladened foods are what made us fat in the first place....Best Wishes

Great milestone, huge congrats and on to the next!!

Woo hoo pink dahlia, love it! Fabulous job!

7 years..that's amazing! Congrats and Happy Bandiversary!!

I've tried the French Onion one, it was just okay, I only had about a tablespoon with a few cherry tomatoes, but I may mix it in some tuna...good suggestion!

It still amazes me how many calories I used to eat a day..omg shocking, no wonder I was so freakin heavy....I count every calorie I eat now and yeah some so called healthy options sometimes aren't for sure

Thank you everyone, you are all so very kind I Love lapbandtalk

6 months and 3 weeks ago. I was a huffing, puffing, size 24 wearing, 286 lb weighing miserable woman...today I weighed in at 186.2!!, 100 lbs gone and so much more, gone are the size 24's replaced with 12's (I have a lot of muscle!), I don't huff and puff anymore, I can run!, food does not consume my days or my thoughts anymore and I'm happy!! not miserable....If you are struggling or just starting out...I'm just a normal person, my band isn't magic, I follow the rules and respect my band, you can too

Banana Muscle Milk...the only one I can drink

Congrats on your 1 year anniversary and amazing loss!

I have a Taylor digital scale too, it's about 6 years old, my doctors office and my surgeons office both weigh me 1 lb heavier than mine at home.....if it's an option I would buy a new scale,....Darn scales, can be so frustrating, especially in your situation, so sorry and good job on losing!....Best Wishes

Don't compare your weight loss to other peoples, it's your journey and you will reach your goal in your time if you work with your band..Best Wishes

13 lbs is good weight loss!...keep on keeping on and it will happen for you! Best Wishes and I hope you find a good support group

I'm not from Dorset but I want to say, you aren't alone....there are so many wonderful people on here willing to give advice and lend an ear. Dig deep and get back on track, go back to basics, talk to your nutritionist if you can, visit a support group, but don't give up, you can do this and you are more than worth it
