I was banded on 4-17-09 and I lost 45 pounds pretty quick but then I gained 5 back after not having a fill for 4 months. I have now had a fill and it seems very very tight. I like the part of filling full and losing weight but I think if it hasn't gotten better in a couple more days I am going to have to call my doc. Congrats to you on your loss!

My computer was down for more than a week. It crashed and was actually able to be fixed. I didn't realize how addicted I am to the computer. Speaking of plateaus, I finally broke mine. I started the high Protein low carb diet. 3 days of protein only and the 4th day add fruits and veggies. The scale finally moved. I'll post my loss this Friday. I missed last Friday because my computer was down. Christine - I have never heard of delayed gastric emptying. Is there anything they can do for it?

Rhonda - everything in moderation. If you want an easter sweet - decide what you want and only eat a small portion. There is nothing in the lapband manual that says you can't eat a sweet every now and then. Just allow yourself enough to satisfy your sweet tooth and move on. Don't beat yourself up over it. Yes, I want plastic surgery. I still weigh 190, so I have a ways to go before I can start discussing it. I have huge bat wings and my belly will definetly need some work. Happy Easter everyone!!!

I was actually banded March 24th 2008 in Roanoke, VA. It has been a great year. I have about 30 - 40 pounds more to lose. 5 more pounds and I will no longer be obese!!!!! Follow the rules and exercise and you will do great. Take Care, Lori

Oh My!!!! I have eaten like a pig today. Too much Easter candy.....But, I did take a good walk with a few tough hills and I used hand weights. Weigh-in is in the morning....What have I done. :-O[ YIKES!!!

Fixin - I lost 30 pounds before my surgery in March 2008 (December to March) . I just celebrated my 1 year anniversary. I am thrilled to be down 113 pounds. I have lost a little quicker than many bandsters. And yes, there can be alot of negative comments on LBT. I chose to have a positive attitude and move forward. I was very strong willed especially in the beginning. I didn't eat anything -I mean anything junky until this past Christmas. So I have paid for eating junk by slowing down my progress. But, I am on the move downward again. Controlling what you eat and exercise along with a good attitude will keep you going. Good Luck!!!

Hope - here is the link for the Couch 2 5k program. You have given me a little push, maybe I will get back into it. You can check out the Couch 2 5K thread over on the Fitness thread. Cool Running :: The Couch-to-5K Running Plan Christine - I am sorry that you are still having problems. It is a good thing that it is not related to the band. Hopefully the doctors will find out what is wrong soon. I am looking forward to my Spring Break. It is a short one - four day weekend, but I am ready for a few days off. The kids are getting spring fever at school.

Christine - I hope the doctor figures out why you are hurting after eating. I know you are bummed. Special K - Every day is a new day. Make the most of it. If it helps, log what you eat. That helps you to be accountable. I do not have the restriction that I need after the fill and then unfill. I ate 2 pieces of pizza (thin crust) for dinner. I am almost afraid to get an unfill. I only have about 5cc in a 14 cc band. Everytime I go past 6cc I have trouble. I need to make better food choices and EXERCISE. I am hoping to be in the 180's on Friday. We will see.

OMG, 113 lbs., you are awsome!!! You are the encouragement I needed to see, I was just banded 3-17-09, and I am doing good, but seems all the forums can be kind of negative! Nancy

What is a ketostix? It tells you that you are losing weight???? I don't Celebrate a loss with food, but I am addicted to the scale. I weigh every morning and every night. I just can't make myself go a week. I guess keeping track helps me from gaining all week. It keeps me in check.
