Keep up your spirits sweetie. Your diet has changed so maybe your body is reacting to it. You may be losing inches and not pounds per se. I understand that it can be frustrating when the scale is not moving, but there maybe other places you are losing. Just stay positive and strong!!! (and stay on your path... )

I really enjoy the Unjury shakes. They can be ordered online or through your doctor. My doctor has them on hand in their office so it makes it convenient and the chocolate and vanilla are really good, especially if you mix them. I also did buy one from Sam's, but be careful about the ingredients. My dietitian suggested only using shakes that first ingredient is whey or Soy Isolate not concentrate or blend, Hope this helps...good luck!!!

I am in, please send me details!!!! (54 lbs down)

I was just banded Dec. 14, 2011, and looking forward to seeing my weight loss continue. The hardest thing for me being 2 days into my new life, is not being able to eat "real" food. lol liquid diet and tomorrow I can start blended food (yeah) lol. I lost over 30 lbs pre-op so I just keep thinking positive. I understand your situation, but at least you have a source of income. I am unemployed and have been for over a year. It can be stressful and hard, but use exercise as a stress release rather then food. Comfort food was in our past lives, post-op we are new people with new goals and new habits.

December 14...two days since procedure.
