Hi, I'm a lapbander (almost 2 years now) who has been successful in weight loss and I'm looking for a few friends to add who are like myself. I'm not very bodacious so reply if that's good with you..

I've been having digestion problems for the last few months and would like to learn from others' experiences. I will discuss this with my surgeon but I'm sure it will boil down to daily disciplines of eating the right way.

Things I know I need to do:

Eat earlier in the day
Eat leaner foods ('I'm not doing fried, but could be more conscious of fat)
Eat more fruits and vegetables (I often don't have room once the protein is achieved)
Not eat at night
Cut down on spices (I have been using more spices since lap band than I did previously)

Does anyone pay attention to probiotics?

Reply if you have insights or friend me. I'm 50+ and married.

    I've just been banded as of November - so don't have much insight for you. My 2nd fill is coming up. I haven't found this group to be too active on MFP, but there are a number of active groups on Facebook, if you have a facebook account? Or you can friend me?

    I have been banded for about 2 yrs now. My weight fluctuates. I get frustrated but honestly have nobody to blame but myself. I've been through a lot and put myself in a slump. I'm not giving up though.

    Sorry ladies both of you responded to my query and I didn't respond to you. Would like to talk to you more about lap band as both of you are into it for awhile now - going on 3 years for me. Successful in weight loss but not without some serious problems. You?
