Hi. I'm in the same boat!!! It's almost a year since my band surgery and I've basically only lost 10 lbs. So disappointed in myself. However, I'm going to look on the bright side and be happy that I at least haven't gained. Hardest thing for me is the mental aspects (slowing down my eating, portions, eating when not hungry just because everyone else is!). I've lost 3 lbs. in the last month by sticking with Pure Protein shakes in the morning with an extra scoop of Protein powder making it a 50g of protein, salads or chili for lunch and an early dinner (if I'm hungry). I'm trying my best to stick with it. We can do this!!!

6 days post-op and back at work. Down 20 lbs since Pre-op diet and feeling pretty good. Still having issues with some gas pains but am moving around and taking Gas-X. Hard to believe that a yogurt and applesauce cup were the only two things I've had today and I am FULL. This band is going to end up being my life saver!!

August 7th for me. Day after tomorrow and I cannot wait. So excited!
