I have had the lap band for a while now and I am stuck at my weight of 150-155. I want to jump start my weight loss again. I was thinking doing the Atkins diet plan. But I can only consume 2-4 ounces at one time. How can anyone follow the atkins, with that much restriction. Please help. Andrea M

I have only go 15 - 20 lbs to go and it is very hard for me to get it lost. I have a tight band and I am trying anything to lose these last 20. But I gain 2lbs then lose 3lbs. I think I am doing well then I weigh myself and I gained 2lbs. Then I pig out what ever I want to eat or should I say can eat. Then I lose weight. I am going crazy. Is there anyone out there that can help me.

What night and time is this lap band support group.

My band was tighten and I am at 71/2 with a 9cc Realize band. I PB everything I eat. Mornings are the worse I can't even drink milk. I can't believe I am surviving with as little as I eat. Why is the weight not coming off? Someone out there please help. Hartsdream@aol.com

Well here I am also ladies. I have less than 20 to go and I am having a hell of a time losing it. I can't eat - I throw everything up unless I eat only 2oz at a time. I know - I know I should be glad but I can't believe my body can survive with this little food each day. Its pretty amazing I am not sick or something but thank God I'm not. I just eat when I can and wait 10 min to see it it will come back up. Pray for me - I want to get down to 136 so I can be a size 6 again. I hope I am satisfied with myself by then. Bye for now - Andrea

I am filled at 7.50 on a 9cc band. I can hardly eat anything without throwing up. I guess I will stay this way until I lose more fat and then the band will loosen so I can eat again. If this is the sweet spot - let me tell you it not very sweet.

Hi everyone it finally happened I reached my 50 lb mark. I am so happy. After 2 1/2 yrs. I finally figured out how to eat. Fruit or a salad with every meal until I feel satisfied not full.

I had my band done last march and I started at 210. I am now at 180. but I haven't seen my doctor for the past 3 months because he told me I can only consume about 4oz so the rest is up to me. I either want to cheat or stick to the foods he suggests or else. He didn't make me feel happy at all. But he is right I have to stick to high protein foods and away from sweets.

Well it seems I have been complaining too soon. Since my last filling I have had no hungry and I can only eat 2 oz. at a time. Yes sweet God I finally feel its working !!!!!

Realize holds how many cc

I have lost 33 lbs so far.

Well I know earlier I wrote after my last fill but thank God I finally got my sweet spot - I can only eat 2oz of food at a time and can't wait until my weight falls off.

Thank God it finally happened - I finally got a fill that worked my last fill did it. I can only eat 2oz of food at a time or I feel pain so I try not to push it to that point so I can not wait until the weight starts falling off.

How many fills does it take do you think to feel full

I had the band and fills and still am having problems losing weight. Surgery March 27th 08 and I have lost 30 only
