Question:
because I had the lapband previously, that I'd only lose 75 to 80lbs I'm stuck, HELP!

do it really matter that I've had the lap band previously and I wont lose any more weight? I dont' get to work out as much as I'd like to, I need to make it a priority. Can anyone tell me what I need to do now???? and if its true about the lapband and not losing anymore due to the prior surgery???? I'd really like some HELP!!!    — tracyh45 (posted on June 3, 2011)

I have no idea what you are trying to ask. Do you still have the lapband? Did you revise to another surgery? If so which one?

The only reason I can see you getting the Lap Band again is because you regained your weight.Are you doing Protein Shakes?? If So stop!!! Never touch another one for starters! Protein shakes was invented for Body Builders to Bulk up faster. With this surgery everyone got on the band wagon. Drink Protein! But like I said you will Bulk up and this is the reason so many have gained most if not all there weight back!! I am almost 8 years out. I still weigh 130 LBS. I drank one shake. No more! My surgeon told me to eat because if you don't eat real food the surgery will not work. I know everyone is worried about getting their 45 grams of protein a day. But forget that for now. For you to get the weight off you need to eat every 3 hours. Something small. A piece cheese, a piece fruit, 1/2 sandwich, drink lots water. Nothing but water or tea. No Sodas !! Sodas stretch your stomach! Just eat. Whatever you can tolerate for the first year! Once your weight is off then worry about getting more protein from food. Never from shakes! I'm sorry but I have seen this over and over and was told I would regain. But I have always eaten whatever I can tolerate every 3 hrs or so and a nice dinner. But small, small portions that add up to a cup of food per meal. Eat Girl!! Good luck. Just my opinion!!

Yes, please clarify. Did you have a band and then revise to another surgery? Please repost your question with more details.
