Hello Everyone Well its been awhile since I have been on the site so here is a little history. I had the lap-band on 12/13/05. My weight at the time was 320 Lbs,However my highest weight was 362 lbs. I was doing great. Working out everyday and watching what I was eating. I got down to 268 at that on 4/17/06. I was working out in the morning, my diet was good. Then I had a schedule Change. My work hours now was 8x5..my work out was nothing and my bad habits came back. My doctors visit also decline so I have not had a fill for over a year. I balloon up to 344 lbs and I hate it. Well its time to get back to work. I e-mailed the PA today and hope to get a fill within two weeks. I planed my work out schedule so hope to comply with it. Now I need to plan my diet.. I will look at the forums to see what Lap banners are eating and hope to follow. Any support/advice would be appreciated.

Dont give up and hang in there..I have regained my weight and it sucks...I rather take the slow weight loss then the gain... Keep up with your fill as needed and talk to people. .. After losing weight and buying new clothes it was great, what stinks is gaining the weight, feeling lousy and buying clothes again cuz I threw my old ones away!

Thanks Sandi2004 Just sent u an e-mail;

I will try to keep it simple: My information is listed below. I did well for a minute and my lowest weight was 268 lbs. During this time I worked out in the morning and worked in the afternoon. My diet was good.I keeped it simple. When my schedule changed I started working from 8AM to 5PM. I was tired when I went home so I stooped working out. My diet took a turn and my eating habits went out of control. I regain my weight and plus. I am looking for a mentor basically for my eating habit...Someone who can suggest daily menu. I don't do Breakfast, just lunch, dinner and a snack... If you think you can help,please let me know. Note: I know I have to get another fill, so I like to lose some weight before I go. I already now what they are going to tell me so I really don't want to hear it! Thanks!

Hello It has band awhile since I posted. I have been making wrong food choices and have re-gain my weight and plus.... I noticed yesterday for lunch I had a few pieces of chicken and that was it. I could not eat any more. About 30 minutes later I threw up. I know the band is working.. again with my weight gain its about wrong food choices. Well time to start up again. I weighted in this morning at 333.6 lbs ( sucks )... Goal weight 200 lbs My lowest after being banded was 269 lbs back in 5-16-06. I had no issues weighting my food then and working out was a biggie for me . Did it all the time in the past, and have to do it now.

Disregard, I found " what did you eat today post" Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your advice.. I have started today..........

Hi Bunnygirl does your insurance cover your nutritionist visits? Yes it does.....However The doctors office is 2 hours away..That is one reason I did not go especially with the gas prices being so high....Sine the prices have come down, I will be able to go get my fills...

Hi Everyone I will make this short and simple. In Dec 2005 I had the lap band. My weight at the time was 320 lbs. I got down to 267 lbs as of 4/17/06. I was doing well, working out and eating right. Well I have regained my weight. Not eating right and not working out. The last time I went for a fill I was 295 lbs and that was about 8 months ago. I would hate to go back weighting more then I should. With the weather starting to get warm I need to get back on track. First I need some help, would like to know what is your basic menu and how much do you eat ( as in oz).. That would be a great start... PS- I will also make an appt for a fill! Thanks for your help! Joe

My weight on 1/1/05 was 365 lbs. I had the lap band surgery on 12/13/05. My weight 320 lbs. My lowest point was on 4/13/06 @ 261.6 lbs. As of 7/1/08 I am at 282.4 lbs. I have never gave up on my goal of 200 lbs which I know I will get to. Just dont know when! My problem is what I eat. I tend to eat the wrong foods like ice cream is is a killer. My weight has evened off between 285-295 lbs. Would like to see what your typical menu is like for Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner/ etc. So if you can help, please post. Thanks. Again- Never give up.
