What's wrong with lap band ??? It's better than both in my belief - your not cutting you insides or re routing them up in any way

Some may think it's the wrong way to do WLS , yet with consistent bounce back to gaining weight. Per choice of what surgery you would work towards "if you did" I suggest lap band simply because they do not modify your stomach , by cutting or making smaller. The band is just a restrictive tool that helps us eat slower and realize what we are putting in our body. I've had the band for over 7 years and am blessed for making that choice - I have never gained a large amount of weight back : only 20 pounds is the most I've gained and and am able to loose easily

I went in to 2-3 cc increments and liquids for 2-3 days. Slower eating clearly is ideal, yet was deprived of the protein, still needed more. Actually, my wife (lap band also) was having he hair issue sadly (it happens), but we got our vitamins and supplements in order with a protein shake(sip: may not drink all of it) , between meals . Big difference , welcome to message me for any other info : anything to help

With the protein shakes, catalyst (supplement), and a few other supplements I've used helped out a lot. Use to go to GNC pick up a big bucket of whey and it just wasn't right. With our band we can do a lot of things more natural if we just give ourselves the ideal supplements we are required to take. First, to avoid deficiencies (especially men) and to ideally keep ourselves at the ideal goal weight or strive to the ideal goal weight. Welcome to help in any way

Can only drink like flat coke zero , yet have been just drinking the spark vitamin packets - they seem to help me out with the craving. Welcome if interested to message me. Hope this helps :-)

Hit my Plateau as well my wife after 4 years of having the band and noticed a serious change of the supplements (required) and "yeah" doing great. My bones actually started to hurt, thus telling me something needed to change. Even set up my semi-monthly challenges rotate work out methods and seems to be fun. Vitamin water and supplements really - "Sparked" it

Vitamin water and protein shakes, various broths (chicken or beef). Remember any adjustment , the body does take some time for healing. Even had the supplements delivered to the house. You'll get there Hun , keep strong and persistent.

Noticed the original poster of this was last year - if still interested welcome to contact me . I've lost 205 and have had the lap band for 7 years . My wife also did it and reach d her goal - she lost -165 pounds .

5 years after having lap band and went towards using AdvoCare and haven't looked back good stuff

Have to change your routine every 2-3 weeks so your body doesn't get accustom

Have to say I've dropped about 40 pounds with the various new positions : and everything got bigger for me . 5' to 9 1/2 (no bs) no problems shaving either for her now. Much more confidence in the bedroom and mirror welcomed . Lmao actually caught myself posing. Another good reason to keep the weight off

Your doing great ! Way more confidence than I had working on the task of losing weight.
