Can anyone help get me back on track

[rhawkes 0]

I just want to know how to get back on track. I've been banded for about 1 year and have only lost 30 pounds. I don't know what to eat when. I've had 3 fills and I still can't get on board. Any help anyone can give me I'm open to about anything. I made an appt with a nutic. but she can't see me for 2 months. I'd like to get back on track before then. My Dr. who performed my surgery has retired so i have no one. My new dr. tell me to get going and get back on track i just don't know how??:tt2::confused:

Can you give me a break down of what you are eating daily and how many calories and exercise?

rhawkes, I'm sorry things haven't been going well. It sure doesn't help that you're doctor retired, and your new one doesn't sound all that supportive.

Do you feel like you have good restriction with your band? Also, how is your diet? Are you eating good healthy solid Proteins and veggies? Are you measuring your meals? If your able to eat big portions of healthy (non-slider foods), your band is still loose and not helping you reduce the amount of food you're eating.

A lot of people track their foods. I haven't started doing that yet, but many people swear by it. There's several online sites to help you with that. One of them is Daily Plate. Calorie Counter, Diet Tracking, Food Journal, Nutrition Facts at The Daily Plate

Anyway, those are the first things I'd be looking at.

Good luck, and please come back and ask specific questions, if you have any.

I don't eat well. I try to cut back on what i eat but I guess i just don't know what to eat. I need to find a site or some information on what i should be eating and how much and when. I don't know how to balance it out so i eat a yogurt for Breakfast, ususally a 1/2 sandwhich and and apple for lunch or a couple of Soup, and dinner just chicken some veggies ??? if anyone has any suggustions on what, how much and when i should be eatting that would be great!!!

Sounds like you could use another fill. I have had 5 fills and still am not at my sweet spot. I do better, but I feel I could eat a little less. Log all your food intake and calories. Also do the 5 day pouch test

Surgical Weight Loss 5 Day Pouch Test

It will help you get back on track. Good luck. Keep posting so we can continue to help you.

Check out the thread at the end of this post, and pick out a few people who are doing well with their weight loss. You should get some good ideas of what to eat. For instance, you mentioned you're eating Soup, and while there's nothing in the world wrong with soup, it's not particularly a good bander choice for a satisfying meal because it goes right through your band.
