Hello Everyone I am new to this site. I am looking for support that could help me . I think if I had support maybe I could do better in my weight loss. I have been banded for 2 yrs. The first yr I did good I lost 50 lbs than I had slippage for about 6 months and finally had to have my band replaced in May 2006. I am not losing weight like I thought I would. So far from May till now I have only lost 12 lbs. Can someone the me how I should be doing my meals. I have started doing every 2-3 hrs eating something small. I walk for 40 minutes 5 days a week. Do I need more exercise? Someone please help me.

Hi Everyone, I am new to this site. My name is Ann and I was banded in August 2004 and had slippage and had to be rebanded in May 2006. My doctor was Wade Barker, Dallas, TX With my first banding I lost 50 lbs than when the slippage started they fooled with that for about 6 months than decided I needed to have it replaced. That took 3 months and in that 3 months with no fill I gained back 25 lbs. I have lost 12 of those 25 already. I really need support. I am having a hard time trying to figure out what I really should be eating at meal times and how often. I just started doing the 6 small meals every 2-3 hours. I sure hope it starts to help me lost it a little faster than I have been. I do exercise 5 days a week. I ususally walk 40 minutes a day on the treadmill. Anyone have any other sugguestions that I might do.
