Hi Danielle! Yes, it sounds like we have about tthe same story :-). I agree w/ your doc.....I think your doing well! 9 lbs in 2 months is great!!!! We all want the weight to FLY off but it's not gonna! :smile2: Sounds like your doing awesome!

I know how you feel. I had sugery sept 25 2008 lost 40 ish lbs in the first 6 months. Then didn't lose again for like another 7 months. I just couldn't get the motivation again. I felt like I was failing my band. Just in the last few months I started getting serious again * losing again FINALLY!!! I started measuring my food again & counting my cals w/ daily plate .com. You have to plan! Make food ahead if you have to. The bottom line is nobody can MAKE us do this. It sucks but we have to do it all ourselves. HTH!

PS_how long did it take????

OMG!!! You look amazing in that dress!!! Yo umust be so rpoud of yourself!!! GREAT JOB GF!!!!

It is very hard to eat the right foods......I know. Nobody can really tell you what is wrong w/ you. You should just insist that your doc checks things again. Does yyour doc know that your over eating ect? You must be honest. I hope you get this figured out. For now you should try to stick w/ your plan & see if that does the trick. :-)

Hey there! We've all been there when we fall of the wagon. The point is you gotta get back on....before you gain more!!!! I have been banded over 1 yr & was stuck at a loss of 40-45 lbs for about 7 months. I felt like i had failed & I wouldn't find my motivation again. I HAVE!!! I am losing again!!! You have to stay in touch w/ your doc & on this sit too. Like another person said, PROTEIN 1st!!! Wishing you happier times & weightloss!!! :-)

Is the bugg around $250.00???
