  1. What can I do to lose weight faster. It looks like I am a failure. No one says I look like I lost weight. My husband said I don't look like it. I am a soild person. before my journey 10 months ago I weighed 191pounds. I am now weighing 171 pounds. What can I do to speed up my weight lost at a consistent and safe pace?
  2. It has been 10 months sinceI have been banded, but I lost only 20 pounds in spite of eating small low fat meals and exercises. Please send me a 1200 cal diet so I can start to lose again. Oh I forgot to mention that I have only had 2 fills. Maybe should have stayed on a protien drink until I lost al the wieght or what?
  3. Why have I developed a chronic cough for the last two months or reflux.
  4. Why can't I lose the weight? I have had only two fills since surgery on 12/26/09 and lost only 10 pounds. My last fill was on May 2nd 2010, and my band was filled to 5cc. I still do not feel restriction. I have only lost a little weight of 10 pounds. I have a small band. Do I need another fill asap? It has been seven months with hardly any weight lost. Please help.
  5. What does it take to lose weight. I have tried everything. This LAP BAND IS NOT WORKING. I had two fills since my surgery 12/28/09. My second fill was May 1, 2010. My start weight was 191. Today date is July 25 and I have lost only six pounds. I fill as though I have no restriction and every thing I do is to no avail. I need help with this problem. What can I do to lose weight quickly?
  6. Is there anybody who is diagnosed with hypothyroid disease and having a slow weight lost after banding?
  7. I find that my restriction is not that good. It has been seven months since I was banded, and thus far I have lost only 20 pounds and developed a chronic cough for the last two months. I am able to eat more than 2 cups of food without any problems. What can I do speed up weight lost? And cure my chronic cough?
  8. I have hypothyroid disease a very slow metabolism. I was banded six months ago. My start weight was 191. I am now at 178. I feel that my weight lost is too slow. I believe that I have followed the post -op plan to no avail. What can I do to speed up losing again. It seem that I can only lose if I stay on protein and a liquid diet.
  9. I have a healthy diet and eat small meals no bread or deserts . High protein and low carbs. I exercise two to three times per week and stay active. I have hyporthyroid disease, which I take 300mg per day. I am surprise that my weight loss is so slow. I don't crave foods or sweets. Should I go back on the pre surgery and post surgery diet for a month to get a jump start?
  10. I was banded 12/28/09. My weight was 191 and now I weigh 179. I eat small meals and low fat. I am frustrated that I am losing so slow. What can I do to lose more faster.
  11. I am still not losing weight. As a matter of fact I feel like I have moderate restriction. My Dr. filled my band to 4.5 cc in Febuary 2010. It's been 2 months since my last fill and still no weight loss. What can I do to see a weight lost?
  12. I have the same problem. Six months after surgery I have lost only 12 pounds. I do not eat a lot. My band was filled to 4cc, therefore I need more retsriction so I can drop the weight. I am beginning to think this a joke and the surgery do not work. What can I do to speed up my weight lost? My start weight was 191 and now my weight is only 178. This so slow
  13. I have hypothyroid disease and lose wt slow. So I decided to get banded 12/28/09. My start wt was 191lbs. After three months I now weigh 179 lbs. I eat well and write down everything I eat. My foods are measured into serving sizes. I watch my fat content too. I am exercise three times a week. I do what I am suppose to do. I can not understand why my lost is so slow. Can anybody share with me what can I do to speed up more wt lost? Do I need to go back to liquid diet?
  14. I so afraid of weight gain due to hypothyroid condition. I am not a bringer, small amounts of foods is enough for me and satisfying. My problem is that I have only lost 10 pounds since being banded Dec 28, 2009. I am exercising and watching my food intake. What do I have to do to lose more weight. I am disappointed that I have not lost more. I started out weighing 191 and down to 179, but today my scale showed I gained three pounds (183). What can I do to lose more weight? Do I go back to liquid diet again?
