Hi everyone, This is the first time on a forum....I am so glad to be able to talk to other WLS people. I had my surgery on 3-24-08. I was doing fine and losing weight during the liquid diet 2 weeks before and after but now I am stuck...No weight loss for 10 days. Is this normal with the lap band? the day of my surg I was 233 lbs. Today 204 lbs. I follow the diet faithfully. please give me some ideas on staying motivated....

Welcome to the TT forum and congratulations on the great first month result.

From what I read and only that as I had Lap. Gastric Bypass, people do have moments of plateauing. I would keep try and not be so focused on the weight loss, try weighing only once a month. However if you are faithfully staying on the food plan and drinking the water you need, I would contact the physician that you work with.

Post your concerns of the post-op lap banding section and see if you get responses there. I think this might give you other thoughts as well.

I wish you all the best and as far as I can see you have had great results already in your first month.
