  1. I am in the SAME boat as you except that I lost 45 lbs in the first 4 months then NOTHING since January. it's SOOOOOO frustrating because I know that I am eating what I should and working out. Went to my doc last week and he actually said that it looks like I have "LapBand Failure" where the band just isn't working for me. He recommended I consider the sleeve or gastric bypass. I can't decide which one to do.
  2. I'm reading a lot of posts on here and I see people that are on liquids/pureed for a lot longer than my doc had me on it... I'm only 10 days post op and I'm already on soft foods. I feel like maybe he had me progress too soon... Nothing gets stuck and I feel like I could eat a lot more than my 1/4 C 3 times a day, but I don't. Should I go back on liquids?
  3. Hi everyone! I'm new here. I just had my surgery on 9.29. I started feeling incredibly hungry Friday night and it hasn't really stopped. I'll eat my 1/4 C. and I'm starving 20 mins later!! My doc told me to go ahead and proceed to soft foods. I'm seeing him Friday for my post-op appt and he said I had to be on soft foods if I wanted to get a fill Friday. I started back to work this week, so the constant hunger is really messing with my concentration there. Am I doing something wrong?? I'm worried that it started to soon. I'm only eating 1/4 C three times a day, even though I feel like I could eat much more.
