Looking for lapband friends

samcat121

Hi every one, I had lapband surgery Jan 8th 2015 and things were going well at first but then the weight just wasn't coming off any more. By the end of last year I was so frustrated I had let myself go again. However at the beginning of this year I took charge of my diet and started using My Fitness Pal to track my intake. I am not the most tech savy person so it has been a bit of a learning curve. Now that I fell more comfortable with the app I thought I would reach out and try to make some friends. I would love to hear any ones experiences especially those of you who have had a lap band placed and what stratagies that have helped you with your journey.

I wish my mom was more tech savvy, she's counting calories with me- she had lap band surgery a few years ago lost 120 pounds, and gained 30 back.. She doesn't want to get it filled, and wants to be able to take more control of her diet without too much help from the lap band.. Definitely harder for her, it is filled but not to the degree it had been in the past, but she's down 10 pounds now, I agree there should be some sort of support group for those with lap band, check out online to see if there's a forum or group for lap band, often I'm not able to relate to her as much because I don't know what it's like to have to diet again with a lap band, best of luck to u!

I got my lapband in august of 2014. Well I did good up until last summer. I learned to eat around my band... but now I am back on it!
