I have a 10cc band and now at 6.4cc. I have really good restriction most of the time. Sometimes I feel like I'm in the green zone and sometimes I feel like I'm not. I can still eat bread. My doctor says that bread is not off limits to me. I don't eat like I used to but every now and then I may have a pinch of bread or a small piece. I think you are not losing the way you want is because maybe your calororic intake is low. Try eating more. Try not to worry so much about what you are putting in your mouth and focus on the portion. Of course still make smart choices. I't difficult but when when you get into a pattern the weight will come off. I have lost 43 lbs since 6/2011 and really have not done too much exercise. I know everyone is different! Don't feel helpless and dont give up. You're doing great! Keep it up. The weight will come off.

Wow! I can't wait to be able to say that I have lost 80lbs or 100lbs. Im sure I will feel the same when I make it there. I have lost 40lbs and people say that I look great, but really I don't see a big difference. Probably because I have so far to go! That part is frustrating! Good job NY!

I was wondering the same thing. I am down 30lbs and was a size 22 now I am in an 18 comfortably. 10 more lbs and I should get into a 16 bottoms. I would say 10-20lbs for each size depending on your shape. Good luck and congrats to you!

Awww That's ok. You can hobble around instead of walk walking. At least you have a week to recover a little between the knee surgery and the band. Good luck with it all

Hello everyone, I am so excited and nervous! My Lap Band surgery is on June 24th. Can't wait. I will be starting the Optifast diet 2 weeks before surgery. What's the average weight loss doing that? Anyone know...
