I had the band placed in March of 2009. I lost 80 pounds but have gained 60 of it back. I am glad I found this site for support and to get me back on track.

I'm scheduled to have the surgery on the 24th and I'm new to this site. Is it rude to ask about your journey and what caused you to gain back some of your weight? Just looking to learn from others.

Not rude at all. We all learn from each other's journey.

It is not rude at all. After my surgery I found substitute foods that would go through my band. Such as ice cream, I have never liked ice cream as much as I do now. Also popcorn. Popcorn is really easy for me to eat. In my mind the calories even out because I am not eating big meals, but that is why I am where I am!! I need to start keeping track of my calories and my Protein.

I do not feel good if i eat anything before 11am so I need to just make sure I am drinking a Protein Drink in the morning.

I know you will do great and will learn for the honesty on this site!

I am right there with you. I had the lap band back in 2009 and lost 60 pounds within 3 months. I have gained 50 of it back. Unfortunately I also found the loop holes like drinking while I eat to wash it down so I can eat more. Now i'm struggling with breaking that habbit again.

So today I am re-starting my journey. I am on liquids today and tomorrow to see if I can get my stomach to not hold quite so much. After that, I will go to mushies for a day or two and slowly add back higher Protein foods and set my drink FAR FAR away from me during meal time.

If anyone has any other suggestions, I would love to hear them. :) I may start a topic to see if we can generate some responses on how people got "back in the game".

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
