Well my feeling is this. The band doesnt work if you dont work the band and if you have only lost 20lbs in 5 years then I am thinking you are not working with your band. I don't think you are seeing your surgeon either because he would have given you insight in five years I am more then sure. People who fail are generally those who do not follow up, seek support, or follow the bands diet or life style change. There is no way if you are doing everything right that your body won't give in and shed the pounds.

Why are you eating baby food? What is wrong with yogurt, anything healthy in a blender with some good chicken or beef stock. You can not be successful if you can't make food taste good. I can't believe your doctors didnt give you a list of foods that you can eat. Did you see a nutritionist? Have you consulted them since surgery? Don't go on your own indulgences because you're hungry. No one had died from hunger from the band. You will soon enough be able to eat food. If you dont let your stomach heal you can cause your band to slip.

Well I am three years out 178lbs and I still feel fat. If my stomach would vanish mysteriously I would be happier. I think we will always feel we are fat. I dont agree you need therapy because really if we let go of the band the result would be weight gain again. I feel I am in control but I think I will always feel fat.

I tell a lot of people especially if they are obese a lot of them have looked in to having surgery because I have been so successful.

Good for you. Congrats are in order here for real

I'm thinking the no milk is because it has so much sugar even skim milk has sugar. When I was doing the ideal Protein we couldnt have milk either it was because of the sugar. I always have done high carb low carb days never no carbs ever. It does work.

Why go to great lengths to have surgery and sabotage yourself with chocolate. Do you want this or not? Stop eating candy that is why we all were over weight. You are defeating the whole purpose if you continue to go on the path you are on.

Well the only thing I can say is that I do not feel I'm depriving myself from the crap that restuarants serve and the high calorie high fat content of even their salads. I have long learned that these things are not deprivation but killing the public. I do not patron restuarants anymore. I don't deprived myself either because I cook very well and to my satisfaction. I think that everyone has to find their own nitch and mine is not eating the unhealthy crap that they serve. Even if you think they have healthier choices they are not. They are loaded with hidden fats and calories even the salads so I will eat my own food and love it. I don't need that crap anymore to live in my body. But that is just me.

I agree cut out the shakes why waste calories on shakes and just stop eating at a cup of food no matter what.

I do not use low fat mayo. It is important to have some healthy fats in your diet so I use Kraft I think it is made with olive oil. I put some no added sugar relish, some baco's a few and sometimes onions. Of course you can't eat a ton because it is a lot of fat between the eggs and the mayo but that is one thing I refuse to eat low fat. As time goes on you will see you can use things that you think you can't. If you want to use fat free or reduced fat then I would definitely go with a name brand such as kraft or hellmans. I eat cottage cheese too but that is low fat or fat free.

For egg salad? Eww no way. There is nothing wrong with eating regular eggs. You can use the egg whites if you want instead of the whole egg. There are just some things that I will not compromise on lol

well my question is can you afford not to

If you cant eat food then you're too tight. Go get an unfill or you're still swollen when did you get filled and did you wait three days before you went back to solids?

Donna my ex husband was an idiot also. He didnt leave me for another woman but thought he could just be cruel by getting up in the morning and saying your face looks fat today I think you gained weight. Well after about nine years of that bs I left because no one deserves to be treated like that by anyone. Fast forward, six months after I had my surgery and was down 70lbs, I met my husband now who treats me like a princess. I have everything in him that I never had in my whole life of being an adult. It doesnt matter why he left really but the pain will go away. I look back now and wonder why I stayed with an idiot who didnt deserve a cup of coffee from me. You will be fine girl. Chin up and move on to a wonderful life with someone who is so deserving of you and will treat you the way you want and so desire to be treated.
