Good morning. Sorry to hear of your loss. Congrats though on getting ready for the "new you" I am happy for you and sending well wishes your way. I was banded a year ago next month. My journey has been just that, a journey.. For some odd reason my weight loss has been slow coming.. Wel, let me say slower than I fee it should be. As I said before being banded almost a year ago, I have lost approx. 30lbs. Not comparing myself to others, but I know quite a few ppl that have been banded after me and have lost more. So, I am going to my doc. today to find out what's going on.. I eat right, exercise, do my Protein and Water religiously...So, i am stumped..But Please don't be discouraged, I am not.. I am not giving up the fight!!! LOL..Just wanted to reach out to you. I am in the DFW area also.. be encouraged and we'll keep in touch.. Have a great day! weightoff me

Thank you ladybug. I appreciate your advice. And ALL of the GREAT advice I have received today. You guys have lifted my spirits. Signing off for the day. My work day is done!! Until tomorrow peeps.. Luv ya all bunches!!!

I am new to this forum. It's been almost a year since I was banded, surgery date June13, 2011. I have lost ONLY 21lbs..and I really discouraged. My surgeon is Wade Baker. I am using New whey Protein. I take 3 shakes a day.. I am needing help on what I am doing wrong. I do exercise 3 to 4xs a wk and drink lots of Water, as I should. What am i doing wrong? Thanks, weightoffme

I am getting conflicting suggestions.. some say I need 3 to 4.. I am going to talk to my dr. this week. Thanks much!

Good morning. I am new to this forum. I am looking for a mentor in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. It' s been almost 1yr, date of surgery June 13, 2011, since I had my lapband surgery. I am ashamed to say I have only lost 21lbs. The most weight I lost was before surgery. It has been slow coming off since. I workout, I am doing 3 Protein drinks a day, 25grams of protein each serving. But my weight is NOT coming off and I am really disappointed. A part of me is thinking I should have done gastric. I am not looking for anything quick.. I knew this would not be, but I did expect to have lost more than 20lbs. One of my cousins was banded after in, November to be exact she's lost over 50lbs. already.. HELP!!!! Thanks I want this "weightoff me"

I have tried several (Nectar, Unjury, and J.Robbs) I am currently using New Whey found at Walmart..I loved the Unjury, but I couldn't afford to buy it all of the time. But it looks like I have no choice..

Good morning and thanks very much for replying. I am on solid foods, along w/the 3 Proteins drinks a day. I start my morning with an 8oz Protein shake. For Breakfast I have 1 cup of Cereal w/2% milk (honeynut cherrios mixed w/fiber one). Snack 1 medium apple (if I can eat the whole thing). Before lunch I have another Protein Shake. And lunch is a cup of Soup, usually Mex.Tortilla, chicken Gumbo or Tuna w/6 whole wheat cracker. When I get home from work I have another protein shake. And dinner varies. I am watching carbs, and am eating on a child's plate so I don't overeat..Since I now have 7cc's in, I do feel restriction. I am wondering if the protein I drink has anything to do b/c I also excercise 3-4xs a day for 45mins. Thanks again, weightoff me

In regard to my NOT losing any weight. My band will hold 10cc and I am up to 7cc's in. Since my last fill, I do fill restriction. It's been almost 2wks since I had the fill. Not sure if this is my "sweetspot." I consider my eating habits to be good. Breakfast: 1cup of Cereal HoneyNut Cherrio mixed w/FiberOne..Snack: 1 medium apple or orange. Before lunch Protein shake Lunch:1 cup of soup: Mexican Tortilla or chicken Gumbo or Tuna..with 6 wheat crackers. Afternoon: Protein Shake. Dinner: Varies. But I am watching carbs and amts. I am eating..I have a childs plate, so that keeps my helpings small. I don't do juices..So, i am sure that's not it.. I am wondering though if the protein I am using is my hinderance. Thanks for replying, weightoffme
