food choice for one. I'm still eating out a lot I can't find a shake I can stomach, exercise I've been walking maybe twice a week I got my band on a low bmi n was told it will take longer to see results but, that's not what I really want to hear I need to see results to get motivated n mk it work for me. What did u do to get started?

What are you eating? And how much are you eating?

I saw this blog post yesterday and it may answer some of your questions although it may not be what you want to read.

Hey, no worries. I was in bandster hell for 4 months and everybody heard about it from me. I whined and was so discouraged. I'm sure stuff like this was posted on this site but I was looking for quick answers to a problem that had no other answer.

BTW- Once I got restriction(Late March) I lost 19 lbs and counting. So, be patient.

Don't panic! Have you even had your first fill yet? The band itself rarely does much of anything. You need the fills. For me the first one did a bit but I really did not hit the "sweet spot" until the second. The restriction is what makes it work. Until then, try to focus on nourishment- your body is healing! Exercise 4-6x a week and just don't give up!
