HELP!This is my first time here or in any forum gegarding the band. I had my band surgery this past January and I have not lost any weight. I truly don't know what to eat! I can't seem to get this whole band concept down. I eat bad band foods I think. I can eat rice and slice bread and chef-boyardee. I am absolutely addicted to chocolate and cakes. I beed to stop this but I need ideas on what I should be eating. I am depressed because I am a horrible bandster. I don't feel like I ever had surgery! Please give me some ideas of your meals from bfast to dinner. Please,please should I eat lettuce, can I eat lettuce?

buying multiple exercise dvd's and not doing a single one of them. Boy, do I need energy and motivation!

Thanks Dianne! I am also a couch potato and don't want to be anymore. But I really, really have to try!

thanks DIane! I walked for 19 minutes on the treadmill this evening and did 4 squats with the perfect pull-up bar.

Wow, you are all awesome! I will make this work, it is hard though. Thanks for all the advice and great ideas!!!
