Kelp noodles are a new find for me. No carbs and hardly any calories. They are just like Chinese noodles. They are.made from seaweed. You can get them at whole foods or online at vitacost.com.

Good job on your weight loss. I am in the same boat as you. I was banded on 03/2010 and I weighed around the same as you did and are the same as you now and can't seem to lose any more. I have 2 suggestions for protein since I also had the same problem. At Costco they have a chocolate protein drink that actually taste pretty good and has 30 grams of protein and under 180 calories, it's called Premier protein drinks. Next if the FAGE Greek yogurt with fruit to mix in also at Costco, This is 130 calories and 13 grams of protein... Hope this helps and good luck!

I'm with you on this one. Good Luck to you!

My doctor told me to wait 60 days and then just limit my soda. I am able to drink any diet soda except diet mountain dew. I only drink 1 a week, I would ask your doctor to make sure. Good Luck!

I understand what you're talking about completely. I think to myself all the time why can't I get it thru my head to wait in between bites and take smaller bites.... Just stay positive on your journey. I wish you the best of luck.

:thumbup: This is my first time blogging. I was banded March 29,2010 and have lost about 30 lbs. I find myself slipping and going back to old habits of eating out and eating the same old fried crap that helped get me this way.Is anyone else struggling with this or anyone that has overcome this temptation? If so I would like to know what helped you.. ..If there is advise or tips that helped you please let me know of them..... Good luck to everyone on their weight loss journey.:thumbup:

Good job!!! You're doing awesome. Keep it up it is an inspiration to us all...

Keep your head up!! Dads seem to have a way of making comments that hurt us so much without knowing. Do this for you and no one else!!! We are all here to help each other and I have felt the same way you have with my dad and even my boyfriend..If you ever need someone to talk to or just need some motivation im here for you..

I want all of the things you all have said..I want to change my life finally and not look back.. Remember these little things when we all get in a rut and just want to eat, I think it will help... Good luck to you all!
