I am also starting to use MFP again. My screen name is mair627.

Definitely a soft stop for me

Feel free to add me. mair627

I just signed up for MFP. I am looking for something to help me. Hopefully this tool will help also, I have been stuck. One question, it is showing me can have 165 carbs, can I change that? Also, I am hoping it gives me some ideas for lunch, I am totally lost when it comes to lunch.

I am going to try counting carbs. I was looking with how many I should have and I am glad I found this thread. My doctor wants very low carb, but I really havent been strict, now I am stuck for over a year and its time to get it moving again, and watching my carbs.

I have been at a plateau for longer than I could ever imagine. I am going to try that maybe that would work for me. I find myself eating throughout the day and I know that my dr said that I should only eat 3 meals and no snacking. Great post, I am going to give that a try.

I also get a pain in my left shoulder/back pain, when I eat too much. I also get very uncomfortable and feel very ucky. lol

I think that everyone is different, I was told only to eat 900 calories by my metobolic specialist. I had the band 2 years. I still have trouble with breads, it depends on my band that day. Today, I tried a bite of a bagel, which I have been wanting for months, and I regret it, I have been in the bathroom all morning. It got stuck, I learned my lesson big time...

Count me in also.

Total Weight Loss Since Banding~ not alot (40lbs)

I'm also from North Jersey, I had my surgery by Dr. Nussbaum at Morristown Memorial. I was banded 12/16/08.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to start it this week. I ended up with the stomach virus that is going around here, but I lost 7lbs. I haven't had solid food in days.

I am going to do the 5 day pouch test starting tomorrow. I have been not following anything for awhile and I usually do it to try to get back on track. So I am going to do it again starting tomorrow.

I am banded for 2 years. I am stuck at 40 lbs and I have now been following the new WW program before the holidays and loved it. I am going to restart again tomorrow so I can keep track of what I am eating, because what I see here is that you still need a structured plan to keep track of calories and I really want to finish what I started. I cant afford to go right now, but I have the calculator and all of the new books. I also just bought some lean cusine lunches for work next week.

I would also like to join this thread. I definately need to recommit this year and finish what I started 2 years ago.

I would love to do a valentines day challenge to get back on track. Please keep me posted if someone creates one. I have no idea how to start one.

I with you also. I had my band 2 years and only lost 40 lbs. Fell off the wagon months ago and followed WW to keep me somewhat in line. Its time for me to be fully committed and finish what I started.

I also will be doing liquids for a few days to get back on track. I lost it a few months ago and need to get back. I have an appt on 1/10 and right after that he will schedule me for a fill. I need one.

Hi everyone, I havent been on here for awhile and I am glad to see that they made it a sticky. I think I am going to try to do WW again. I seem to be stuck at 218 and just cant move. I look forward to talking to everyone.

I want to do this challange. I have been stalled for almost a year and really want to get moving again. I'm in...

Hi,

I am also from New Jersey, I had my surgery in Morristown Memorial, Dr. Nussbaum. It was a year in December.

I have been stalled for the longest time now. I go for a fill on monday so I would love to lose 20 by Valentines Day....Im in...

Hi Everyone, Its been a while since I have been on here, but now school is almost over for me so I will have time to come on to the boards. I actually joined WW so I think that using both together and the support of everyone here, will help me get to where I want to be.

Have a great week everyone

Ok, I messed up this week. Everyday, I say I am going to be good today, and somehow I mess it up at the end of the day. Its always at night. I think I am going to actually join, maybe that will help me stay motivated. I love reading these posts, they really make me want to follow this, I love the ww plan. I originally lost 60 following it a few years ago.

Denise this is only my second week, so I'm still very new at this. I lost four pounds last week, and three this week. My total is 7.

Mair, do the online version. It is super convenient and easy to use. You don't need any literature lying around either. All the information you need is all on the website.

Best of luck, and check in! This thread is awesome for the support of Lap Banded WW folks. :thumbup:

Seven pounds in two weeks is great. I hope I do that well. That is fantastic.

Good luck everyone, we can all do it!!!

Count me in also. I love WW, but I just couldn't do it. I just went about 2 months ago and got all of the books, then stopped going due to lack of time. Would love to follow it again.
