hello my name is jodi i had the lap band on jan 15, 2010, i lost 9lbs pre surgury and 19lbs since. my weight loss stopped sometime in may i have been stuck at 218lbs for months and i am really discourage and someone in my support group suggested joining this site. so what im looking for is maybe someone who is in the same boat and any ideas on how i can start lossing again. i wasnt exercising so i joined the gym about 2 months ago. i go 4 to 5 times a week for about 2hrs at a time, i have a personal trainer once a week. i eat right and a lot less, but i do get in all my protein. i have had plenty of adjustment i have 8 cc of fluid in my band so far.

please help i dont want to be fat anymore but iam on the verge of giving up:sad:

don,t give up, just keep going.i had mine on july 19 2010 and have lost 32 lbs.i have had 2 fills and need another one. i still feel no restriction.i have got discouraged but i am going to keep going.i have only 4cc in my band.so please don,t give up.it will work out.

thanks i dont think i will give up i want this too much it just feels like something is wrong most people i talk to who had the lap band around the same time are down 60 or more pounds and i cant loss more then 28lbs andim going on 10 months

thank you for your support

thank you for your support

also know to stay between 800 and 1000 calories a day, if you have a really good work out than 1200 should be okay....that will help as well, be very mindful of everything you put in your mouth (remember carbs turn to sugar in your body, so limit them)

stick with it!!!

Usually a stall like that could be due to too FEW calories. What does your normal day of food look like?
