It does get easier....it's the best thing that I have ever done. I am 2 1/2 years out and 138#'s off I weigh less than my goal......S

Keep it up!

I am having problems getting the proper amount of protein in. I don't like the protein powder, nor the drinks that I can buy at the grocery stores. However, I got fat free yogart, 1% milk and strawberries and I will mix some of each together along with some ice and protein powder and see if that helps. I hope it does. I just got my third fill today. I am not losing much weight at all and have been trying so hard to do what I have been told. I hope I soon get to a fill that restricts me and I start losing some weight. It really is a challenge, count the protein, count the calories, count the carbs. One can go crazy trying to get the proper amount of each in a days time. I am going to concentrate however on the protein. My hair has been falling out and I know it is from not getting the proper amount of protein. You came a long way. I hope you buy yourself something really special. Good Luck!

Yay to 1 week! I was so terrible about my protein the first 2 weeks post op. I would just forget to eat ... well drink anything. Everything will just become routine within 2 months, at least it did for me.

Hi,

How are you doing with gas? I was banded on the 1st and that has been my problem. I am walking 1/2 mile twice a day. It helps but I need something more.

Gas is tricky as you well know..good days and bad days...Drinking something warm/hot sometimes helps me...Good Luck..This too shall pass (no pun intended)...
