Hi guys! Its been like a year and a half since I posted. I got banded sept 09 and just did not do what I was suppose to do and as a result no weight loss. I fell off the lap band wagon hard and am trying to dust my self off and reassert myself. Last week I got a fill (which is my 3rd fill in almost 2 years) and have been disciplined. No sugar or soda for the past week and have been subing meals for protein shakes and walking and extremely limited carbs. I stepped on the scale and not one pound lost even with just liquids at the beginning of the week! I expected at least 2 lbs! I was wondering if this has happened to anyone and I know it takes longer than a week to lose but I just want to feel that its not just me that feel this way and I want to know what some of u did who fell off but got back up and how the weight loss went. I don't want to give up again I want to prosper and hear goo progress from people who once though like me! Please no negativity- I beat myself up enuff!

I "fell off the wagon" when all my Fluid was removed because of pregnancy and kidney issues causing massive amounts of vomiting.. Gained 80lbs while I was pregnant.

I have now lost 42 lbs since I had my baby girl. Granted some of it was as I lost "all the extra stuff" that was in me. I got my first fill Febuary, and then had a possible slip... Anyway... all in all, it IS possible! You CAN do it! Don't be discouraged so early in the game.

Oh, and I also have to wonder if maybe you have streched your pouch while you were "not doing right". If you think this might be the case, do a liquid diet for a full week or 2, this will help your body "reset"

Don't forget walking or something for exercise. That's a must.
