Hello.. this is my first thread... I am new to this site and I have to say that I love it!!!! I was banded in April 2006, I have to say this has been a trying expierence for me. I have lost about 100lb to date and I feel really wonderful however, food is such a challange for me. Seems like one day I can eat pretty well and the next day, not soo good. Does anyone else have this expierence? I have been adjusted twice just to have it all taken out. I have nothing in my band and have had nothing in my band since July 2006. I continue to lose weight, not extemely fast but fast enough.

My biggest question is, will food ever be something I can enjoy again?

and what stops you from loosing too much weight, what makes it quit?

HELP ME!!!

Well. Since Lap Band I have not enjoyed food like before, but is not so bad. Maybe is not that I do not enjoy eating. When you love eating you eat anything and really fast which makes you and all of us happy. Its just like dieting it makes you depressed. I rather be eating minimally and slow and loose weight. Since I started loosing weight I have not experience stomach aches, diahrreas,.... ; and start seeing the bright side, you are getting thinner and healthier.

Also when I eat like hard food the next day is hard to eat. I believe the band area gets irritated and swollen. I usually take a cold drink or just go for a liquid state for one day. This is normal.

Yes you will Michelle. You are gonna be eating like gourmet food which is flavorful but in less quantity. You will lose weight depending on how tight is the band. I am in a point where I do not loose or gain, but I reached my goal. When you reach your goal try to fill the band where u dont gain or loose.

You will get used to the band after a while. Its great.

My goal is to "eat to live," not "live to eat." I love bread and eating it has gotten me into a lot of weight gain trouble. I am glad that it is difficult to eat bread and other foods with the lap band. This tool will help modify the quantity and types of food I eat. I have proven to myself over and over again throughout the years that I cannot control my urges for food. It's a bummer, but true.

      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.
