Newly banded - how do you gain weight after lapband?
If you eat high calorie foods and dont exercise You can gain. Things like milkshakes and ice cream go down easy. We have to do our part the band only limits our food intake the rest is up to us.:frown: we are all human and can sometimes slip up. I love my band!

After surgery, what items could you have not lived without?
most of what you can have after surgey is sweet so I made a big pot of homemade chicken broth ....(whole chicken, two yellow onions,celery, carrots, spices,anything else you like, alittle chicken base and filled up the pot water cooked for 4 hours) I froze the broth in tupperwere and took it out as I needed .....it was the best thing I did.....much better than canned or box broth or stock!

October 2009 Surgery Date?
Hi everyone!...... I will be getting my second fill on dec 14... I can't wait, I feel no restriction after the first one so I am using mostly willpower, I don't know how long i can keep it up lol. If i had will power I would not have needed the band in the first place...... I am sticking to 3 small meals that are sometimes more than a cup each.... and going to the gym (I hate every second i am there!) went 4 times last week and only lost 1 lb!.....I know 1 is better than none but I didnt work out at all the week before and lost a pound. I am still very happy with the band tho If I didnt have it it I would have given up by now and would have started gaining by now. Danyett:thumbup:
