Hi There, My name is Angela. I was banded in August 2010. I have not lost any weight. I have been having metabolism problems. My metabolism is very, very slow so it is very difficult for me to lose weight . In fact, I have been put on Primatene to speed up my metabolism and L-Carnatene to help build muscle because my muscle mass is low. But, still no weight loss. I am frustrated beyond anything explainable. The doctor doesn't want me to exercise very hard because my muscle mass is already low to begin with and he doesn't want me to burn any more of it. Does anyone have ideas or thoughts about this issue? Is anyone else going through this too? Angela

Ok, I will try that. Thank you for your suggestions. How did you get your Tickers in your signature? I tried but could not figure it out. Thanks,

What do you mean what is my protein levels like? Right now I am eating 85 g of protein a day. I weigh 285 lbs.
