Hi Dalex,
You just said, " I have only lost 75 pounds since Sept 19th". WELL.......I too was banded on Sept 19th 2011. I have lost only 40 pounds. I started out being a complete angel and my weight loss was still so slow. I have had 4 fills and and a slight unfill. I did not want an unfill but it was necesary. I walk every day and make pretty good food choices with the exception of sweets. I still have a problem with them. I LOVE THEM. I eat so little compared to my former self and make an effort every day. I track all of my food via MY FITNESS PAL and take all of my vitamins and get at least 100 grams of protein a day. I cannot believe that i have only lost 40 pounds. I too am going up a pound, down a pound.....constantly. I would be curious to know why you cannot eat salad, chicken and the like. So what do you eat for protein? Are you still drinking protein shakes? How many calories a day to you shoot for? Just curious? I feel frustrated and am constantly comparing myself to every YOU TUBE video I can find. I keep asking my doctor why my loss is so slow and he tells me I am fine. It seems the only time I actually lose the weight is right after a fill when I am eating mostly liquids.
I would love to hear back from you and anyone else who was banded around this time. I am wondering about other people's successes.
