well, stop eating crappy food :)

eat good/healthy protein/veggie type foods

and eat the every so often type foods, every so often.

just make better choices in your foods.

Well ya can't move it down with crappy food my friend. Up your Protein and leave the crappy food alone. You will find that crappy food aint so snappy.

I had similar results after 3.5 months(12 lbs/5 kgs?). Then, I met with a bariatrics dietician and she made some recommendations that turned me in the right direction. Learning how to eat the lapband way is crucial. Understanding how the band works and what foods provide that level of satiety that gets us from one meal to the next is so important.

Crappy food usually means processed foods. Eating fresh meats, vegetables and fruit can get boring and the amount of time for food prep goes up but the reward is more weight loss.

My band is still tempermental. Mostly it's me. I sometimes eat too fast or take large bites of food that get stuck. Mornings can be the most difficult times. But as time goes along, you learn to slow down and eat smaller. Have a visit with your doctor's nutritionist/dietician and he/she can help guide you to a healthier life.

Today it's 2 years and 5 months since my lapband surgery. I've lost 125 pounds an no longer am I diabetic

Only had one fill 6 months after surgery

I eat anything I want, just a lot less

I go to the gym 3 times a week, something I could never do before the surgery

Only regret is not doing it sooner

It's so simple

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
