I need some help

[lonorth41 0]

Hi, everyone. I need some help or mentoring. I was banded on June 2, 2006. I have not lost that much weight in over 9 months. I have only lost 12 pounds. I have had 5 fills. I would like someone to mentor me and help me lose this darn weight. I have figured a way to eat around the band. I'm would love to see threads that post menus of what people are eating for the day/week. I do have restriction, but I just eat the things that I shouldn't because I'm hungry. I need to feel full and I haven't ever gotten to that point.

I'm very frustrated and maybe need to look at this in a different light. Can any one help me?

Thank you,

LoAnne

If you have restriction and never feel full, what are you eating? Do you consume hard Protein like chicken, fish, beef, pork, or do you only eat a diet of soft foods? Have you tried tracking your intake of food on fitday.com or sparkpeople.com?

I got so discouraged that I told him I didn't care if he overfilled me. Now I am lucky if I get 3-4 bites in without filling/getting sick. I can't eat the foods I want. Which that is a good thing! But I am not losing weight. I have lost only 4 pounds since my Dec surgery. My band holds 4cc and I know the first fill was 1.5 the last one wasn't a 1. Good luck!!! You will get there.
