Ok, my fill went great with no unexpected issues. However, I gained .4 pounds!! Totally not happy with that but my doctor says it is to be expected and she is pleased with my continued loss of inches. I must increase my motivation to get to the gym and partner my workouts with the work of the lapband for some true success.. I refuse to go backward any longer..

I really need some food types also because mostly I'm mot hungry for anything so a can of Soup is my usual, just too high in sodium. Time to search out some tips, I'm opinion to all input..

Soups are considered a slider food and won't give you the satiety that solid food and Protein gives. If soup works for you to lose weight you might continue till it doesn't, but it's the antithesis of the type of food that makes the band do it's magic.

Hi, how about making a stew? It would be more filling than a can of soup, you could control the sodium, and it would be more healthier.

"really need some food types also because mostly I'm mot hungry for anything so a can of soup is my usual, just too high in sodium. Time to search out some tips, I'm opinion to all input.."

I'm pretty much the same way....because of the band I am seldom hungry whether I eat or not......and most days cannot decide on what to eat...soup is always a good fallback for me...especially lunch...even though it's a slider, that has nothing to do with my hunger...I just don't feel the need to eat....24-7

scales go up and down all day long..

heck you can pee or poop that out...and could be salt/water retention so drink alot....if you are losing inches you are losing weight....and that is what it is all about...you are doing great....focus on the big picture, not just what the scale showed one time...
