2 years post band surgery

Hi, I was wondering if anyone is to years post band surgery with very minimal results? I have over 200 pounds to lose and have only lost about 50. I will coming up to year 3 in Aug 2009. I have had all the fills as reccomended by my doctor and had them when he said it was time. I have been faithful with appointments and with doing the best I can with protein being my main dietary food. I started 5 days per week of physical therapy last October and have been faithful with that also, and it has been documented for my physician. I d one hour of cardio per day at my max heart rate and most days do some strength training (weight lifting0 I have asked my physician if she will look into my hormone leptin levels and she said that she could order the test but would not know what to do with the information. Is anyone else experiencing this??

You should probably post this in the post-op forum for more responses, and more people in your same place. I'd say even from other diets I've been on that you should be losing faster than this with all the exercise you're doing. It has to be the calories you're taking in. Do you have enough restriction that you can only eat about a cup-cup and a half each meal? Have you tracked calories in vs. exercise out...it's easy to calculate weight loss when you have this defecit and your weight. Good luck.
