Problem-Need Advice ASAP

Awaiting scheduling on the endo this week. After the slight Fluid removal (unfill) Last thursday I am still bloated under my breast area. I dont know why....

I saw a 2 lb weight reduction over the weekend which make me feel hopeful but I often see a fluctuation around 2-3 lbs but seem like the SAME darn pounds! I researched a new doctor to specializes in both band and sleeve maybe I will just see someone new an keep the band. I was always good at shedding 20 lbs on fad diets ' date='weightloss pills , etc... But I went to the band for more of a lifestyle change with significant results And 20 lbs off the 1st (2 months) and the following 20lbs took 8 months to come off. I know my lifestyle has changed and I'm following the rules. So much so I can't eat with out my mouth filling with slime or getting stuck.[/quote']

I hope u find answers but I sure can relate. Yesterday everything I put in my mouth came back up. I don't know how to figure out which foods or when it will do that. It might take me quite awhile it seems. But the lbs for me go between 2-3lbs same ones too. But not eating but one or two times a day should break me free if I really start exercising. I hope u figure out what's going on and get it straightened out.

I exercise, I focus on Protein and I am not a snacker! I don't make a lot of money and as a single Mom who comes from obesity in my family I don't keep the chips, sodas,or easy to grab Snacks in the home. So I can force myself to prepare and cook! Nor can I afford to splurge. If we eat out we share a plate and I am trying to teach her about the choices I am making and why. She is 11 yrs old. Im 5'1 she is 4'11 & she weighs 140. Thats what I weighed when I got pregnant with her. Mind you my daughter looks 13 and has the mature body of a woman...she is just like Me! I've never been able to give her a sibling due to PCOS (infertility) and my obesity. I'll be damned if all I have invested is wasted! I am hoping that I am not the F&@ing 2% failure rate I learned about in the meetings!!!!
