I have plateaued and am looking for any tips that anyone would like to share

Anyone else feel like this?

Trying to find ways to get more protein in my diet. Especially at breakfast time.

I absolutely agree. I tight in the morning but not as much at night. I wish it were the other way around

I tried those 42g protein test tube things and they were so gross. I'm constantly looking for good sources of protein. Thanks mxkitty for the suggestion and info about GNC I didn't know that

Years of neglect and now self sabotage??

I wonder if I chose the right surgery, I've had problems with my band and find it easy to cheat bc of it. If it's something that I really like to eat or want and I'm stressed or depressed I will sabotage myself so I can eat it all

You have no idea how much you have just helped me! Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. You are so right

I have an appointment set for 3-10 I'm waiting to hear back of my insurance will cover it bc all of this was before I had them. I hope it all goes through its been like 7 years since I've seen anyone about my band

I currently feel little to no restrictions I can eat anything and do. Then I feel guilty

I do yes. I was banded in 08 had issues with insurance wanting not cover the fills and then the nurses laughed at me when it took me a year to get my second fill saying you mean 1 fill a year didn't work so I gave up. Those were the people who were supposed to understand me and help me if they were laughing why try. I never went back. It's been a yo yo nightmare ever since

For me the only thing that opens it up is throwing up. I have a hard time with broccoli and foods that are hard to chew or don't really dissolve

CoachCher I too was sexually abused as a child and as an young adult related sex to love. I used food to block out what was around me. i have always had a problem with my weight my whole family has. i hate how i look and how i feel but what makes it worse is my husband hates the way i look. He tries to support me but when i give in and cheat he tells me he gives up that i am never going to change. Now i have the added judgement of my family in-laws, because my sister in-law had the surgery and has lost 60lbs in 6 months yet i have had the band for almost 2 years and have not lost that much. so every sunday when we have family dinners they look at me and compare us, which makes me feel like eating more. i need help to get on track and i just don't know where to start. please help. thanks change4life.
