H:help:ello everyone! As the title states, I'm stuck!! I was banded on March 15, 2006 her in Houston, Texas by Dr. Spiegal. Since that time I have lost just over 90lbs. It has been an up hill battle, but most def worth it! Now I find that over the past 3 months I have lost 12lbs!!!! Sad huh....I started working out with a trainer and then I was hungry most of the time...So then I had to start eating smaller meals but more often...Not good for a single guy, thats always on the go...Meal planning has never been a strong suit of mine, but now i find myself at a lost for what works now. For starters I was wondering if anyone out there have any good tips on low cal food that is good to the pallet, not hard to fix, but also great in nutritional value. I have recently been on this peanut kick and that kinda seems to be helping some....Ok I guess thats enough for now....Looking forward to really shedding some more of these pounds...Thanks Everyone!!

Hi Dreday, welcome!

It's awesome that you've lost over 90 lbs. I can't wait to get there. Planning meals have never been my thing either. I've decided that i'm going to try to pick one day a week and do some cooking and i bought some very small freezer containers to freeze small amounts of food in, and i'll just microwave, that way the portion size is already right and i won't be tempted to eat more. Just an idea.... Good luck!

Hey I was banded on March 6, 2006 and know exactly how you feel. I finally hit the 100 lb loss about 4 months ago and now I have only lost about 3-4 lbs a month. Which is much better than the road I was on before (gaining). But, I have another 100 lbs to lose. I keep freaking out that this is going to stop working and I will never see the scale drop below 200. It just seems that it is easier to eat more now, but my doctor does not think I need another adjustment.

Good luck on your future!!!
