Good review for new and old banders... IMO when the weight really starts to come off you will be able to see how much effort you have put into your own success.

gratz on your weight loss, i am the same as you carbs=weight for me too so i eat less than 30 grm a day if i can .. keep up the good work !

Hi Zil...thank you so much for your words! I needed to hear that! I have been banded for 3 weeks on Friday. You are so right regarding the frustrations...I am stuck at 207. My scale hasn't moved in almost a week. I'm not happy. I feel like I can eat what I want because it's such a small amount but realistically speaking, I have to make a change in order to lose. I have been walking but its time to work on the food. Thank you for your words. I want to be motivated to do my best. I just need to work harder. Thank you! Good luck to you!!!

I was banded on 12/27/11, and since I went on mushies the scale has not moved (three weeks). I am now on solids, I have been walking/exercising everyday, taking in plenty of fluids, and making sure I get my protein. I only eat about a cup of food per meal, and no snacking in between (I have not felt hungry at all since surgery)..... I go in for my first fill in two days, and am hoping that will jump start some more weight loss....... trying not to get obsessed to get on the scale every day, but it is getting hard...........
