Hi all,

I'm just looking for a little support on here..

I had my Lap-Band on the 5th May 2015 and so far have lost around 32lbs - (rubbish I know)!!!

I'm really struggling now with my weight loss, it seems to have come to a stop? I'm following my diet plan religiously and going to the gym 4 times a week. I've had 2 fills already, currently have 4mls in my band. I really just don't know what to do for the best, I can't get to see my surgeon until October so worried that he will pick up on my little weight loss and think I'm not giving it my all.

Can anyone help?

Laura

I stalled at the 4 month mark for about 8 weeks! AND that was despite doing everything right - low carb, high Protein, high fibre, no junk, loads of Water....

You are stuck at 32 lbs gone... I was stuck at 40 pounds. Same thing, really...! (And not rubbish at all - great job!!!)

As you will read on this forum, stalls are normal. Just trust in the process and stick to the plan and the needle WILL start to move again!

To make you all feel better mine was on April. 1rst fill .5 started on May then none until July another .5 then starting in August I've been getting .5 biweekly I'm just feeling the diff where I have just lost additional 4 pounds. I do work out consistently

This last was only .3 I was the lowest weight for wls. Dr was being very careful with me.

Keep it up. Choose right choose Protein first eat green leafy veggies and sweet potatoe who is my fav carb choice

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
