I have a similar situation at my work place. A woman had lap band two years ago and has lost 40lbs max. I had lapband surgery March 28, 2011 and have lost 48lbs to date but she constantly makes comments to others. I am trying to approach it in a more pro-active way. I have invited her to the support group that I attend. Offered advice from my surgeon. She still has a bad attitude toward me but I can't let that bother me. I had lap band surgery for myself and my health. If she doesn't like it--too bad!! I would have loved to lost weight the old fashioned way but that didn't work for me. Lap band has worked for me .

If you have an iphone, my nutrientist told me of a great free app called *my fitness pal* It will help a lot with food journaling. Also she recommends 60 grams of Protein a day which helps you stay fuller longer (I use a Reese's protein shake--body advanced whey Protein powder, 1 tablespoon of Peanut Butter, 3 ice cubes, 8 oz of lowfat milk= to 40 grams of protein for breakfast) Good Luck!!

I was just banded on Monday, March 28--Can't offer much more than support.
