Hi! I am new to the board and hope I can get some help on the lap band nutrition. I had mine done in Dec. and have only lost 20 pounds. I am getting very aggrevated and hope I can get some feed back on why I am losing so slow. I decided to get on this board to find out if other people are having trouble losing.:thumbup:

How many fills have you had?

What size band do you have and how much is in it?

Give us an example of what you eat day to day..

Like crystal says, need more info. We'd be happy to give "advice", please take with a grain of salt, LOL, as all experiences and people are different. But we might be able to help if you can fill us in on details.

I agree with the first 2 posts. 20lb seems low for Dec but your expectations need to be based on things like your weight, gender, age, BMI, how many fills have you had?, do you have physical disabilites that limit exercise?, do you do exercise? what are you eating? We'd love to help but -- we need some info.

Do you drink with your meals?

I drink with my meals (not alot), but I do.. I don't think that would prevent somebody from losing weight.

actually, drinking with meals can cause you to lose at a slower rate because it can push the food through your pouch at a faster rate.

MM - what about exercise? are you exercising? are you logging your food?
