thought I would have lost more ..

Thanks for your comments. Yes I think I should see a nutritionist also. There's one a the hospital where I had my surgery. At first I was eating all liquids and soft foods but I quickly got tired of that. I still don't eat beef or anything fried and drink a Protein shake every morning. I eat several small meals but I must not be doing the combinations right. Do you know of any good web sites with eating programs designed for people with lap bands?

I was on a really long plateau and I found a site for bariatric patients called the 5 day pouch test. I went on it for 5 days and it really kick started my weight loss again. It also reminded me to have more Protein. It was at, www.5daypouchtest.com and it is for people who have had gastric bypass, but it is good for us as well.

I lost four pounds during that five days, which is amazing for me, and I've lost half a pound a week since. So I'm really pleased.

Thanks so much for the info. I've already gone to the web site and so far it's good reading. I'll keep you posted.

Also, I see I really have to be strong during this holiday season. The people I work with are bringing food in every day and even small bites can be detrimental to my goal.
