I plan on making a lot of changes this new year. My problem has always been I've had great intentions, but I never follow through. Hopefully this year I'll be able to kick that problem along with some pounds!!!!

I've had my band for a few years and I am NO WHERE near where I thought I would be. Yes, I have lost weight, more than I ever did on my own, but I am still "big". I see people talking about eating salads and fruit and I get frustrated. My surgeon told me no raw fruits or veggies because they sit in your pouch and don't break down as quick as cooked food. So, I'm wondering what other people were told?? I love raw veggies....fruit, not so much, but I crave apples every once in awhile. Any information or tips would be greatly appreciated!!!
