Pooh plus size

My experience with slowed weight loss is similar...frustrating and sometimes difficult to stay motivated.
As my doctor told me, the band provides the slowest rate of weight loss, and 1-2 pounds a week is considered good progress. We are all individuals, so it does not help psychologically to compare yourself to others.
Another consideration is that as you loose fat and build muscle, you are really making progress, it is just more difficult to see. The numbers on the scale seem stuck, but you are becoming more fit...always a good thing!
Keep up the good work...you will reach your goals if you stay focused on the goal! Good luck!!

I don't know if I have any "good advice", but I might be able to put things in perspective a little. First of all, I know you want this weight to just go away fast, but I think you are doing just fine (there's always room for improvement) and you shouldn't let this get you down. Perhaps your weightloss is slower than some, but losing slower will do a lot of good things for you: you skin won't be baggy, you will have time to develop muscle tone, you will be able to adjust to the new lifestyle instead of starving yourself/just being on another "diet", and mostly importantly those that lose slower are twice as likely to keep it off as those that lose quickly with drastic measures like starving themselves. I TELL YOU ALL THIS BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT I NEED TO TELL MYSELF WHEN I FEEL LIKE I'LL GO CRAZY. I was banded november 30th and have lost 25ish lbs and wish it would go faster, but i have to realize that slow and steady wins the race. If you really want to amp things up there's always the traditional advice of playing around with calorie counting (more or less depending) and uping the exercise, but you're smart enough to figure that out so i don't want to lecture you

Why eat the things that made you overweight in the first place. Eat more protein and veggies, leave the white stuff/carbs alone or to a minimum. Just saying....

You're not supposed to have problems swallowing or problems eating bread, rice, and pasta. True some do, but that isn't a sign of not being tight enough. Many have good restriction and can still eat about anything- just smaller portions.
I would suggest keeping a food journal so you can see exactly what you're eating and how much. This way you'll be able to see if maybe you're consuming too much carbs or fat. You can eat tiny amounts of food and still not lose weight if the food you're eating isn't good for you. This should help you to figure out if you need a fill, or possibly a change in diet.
You may want to bring the journal to your nutritionist for pointers, too.
