So discouraged and I just need some support

I too only lost 12 lbs the first 4 months. And the 12 lbs came in the first 2 weeks and then nothing for the next 3.5 months.

I would have to say that you are eating all the wrong foods. You really need to see a nutritionist! I did at 4 months and I was eating like you. Turned my whole program around and I immediately started to lose weight.

You're eating slider foods that will not give you that feeling of being satiated. They just slide right through your band and do not place any pressure on the nerves that send the feeling of satiation to your brain. It's OK to eat stuff like that occasionally, but not if you are not losing weight. Some people, like Honk, your foods may work, but for most of us, yogurt and slippery lean cuisine meals will not work well with the band. We're all different and if something isn't working, don't do it anymore! Change it up weekly.

See your nutritionist, and you're really fretting over a small plateau that all of us have experienced one or many times during our journey. It's very normal. But you should be consuming more Protein and definitely more solid food.

I agree tmf. Greek yogurt is fine for more seasoned bandsters but not new ones. Its full of sugar. I would say you need to learn to eat real food with your band. Not the stuff you are eating. You should be focusing on Protein first then other stuff if you have room. That is the problem with people they want to depend on slider foods instead of learning to eat real food with their band. You will find yourself more satisfied with real food if you would eat it.
