Thank you everyone, you are all so very kind I Love lapbandtalk

Banana Muscle Milk...the only one I can drink

Congrats on your 1 year anniversary and amazing loss!

I have a Taylor digital scale too, it's about 6 years old, my doctors office and my surgeons office both weigh me 1 lb heavier than mine at home.....if it's an option I would buy a new scale,....Darn scales, can be so frustrating, especially in your situation, so sorry and good job on losing!....Best Wishes

Don't compare your weight loss to other peoples, it's your journey and you will reach your goal in your time if you work with your band..Best Wishes

13 lbs is good weight loss!...keep on keeping on and it will happen for you! Best Wishes and I hope you find a good support group

I'm not from Dorset but I want to say, you aren't alone....there are so many wonderful people on here willing to give advice and lend an ear. Dig deep and get back on track, go back to basics, talk to your nutritionist if you can, visit a support group, but don't give up, you can do this and you are more than worth it

I was banded in December too...I eat strawberries every day and they have not in any way hindered my weight loss...berries are full of antioxidants and are relatively low in sugar compared to some other fruits...

Best Wishes Christy, see you on the other side!!!

Congrats!! Awesome job!!

Congrats!!

You look fabulous!!

I'm a gum chewer too, helps me a lot when I want to snack.....I'm sure it's passed through now..Best Wishes

The only way is to dig deep and do it...don't be too hard on yourself. I have a husband and 4 children to feed and temptation is always there, so I have to keep myself in check and keep my eye on the prize, a healthy me. Remember how good it felt to eat healthy, exercise and loose weight, you can get that back. Start over with portion control, count calories on myfitnesspal (I count every calorie I eat), lean protein first and lots of water...cut yourself some slack but get back on track...you are so worth it...I hope you are getting some help for the depression too. Best Wishes

Lot's of good advice here! Track your calories on something like myfitnesspal, and I would replace a couple of the shakes with lean protein and veggies...and keep coming back here, lots of great people with great advice! If you absolutely can't stay away from the sweet tea, maybe just have it once a month as treat, so you have something to look forward to...Best Wishes

Congratulations, Fabulous job!!

I got my band to help me maintain my weight after I reach goal not to lose weight, I've lost a considerable amount of weight a few times in the past just to gain it all back..so I look at my band as way to maintain and not gain all the weight back....Congrats on your loss so far and Best Wishes!

Good luck and Best Wishes today

My nutritionist has had hers for 13 years now...I'm hoping to get at least 20 years out of mine

I'm so very sorry, I really hope it all works out some how

How long have you been banded Jessika?

I buy the Quest bars, at gnc all the time, by 2 get one free, I like the coconut cashew and the strawberry cheesecake...we are never going to find a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar, it's just not going to happen with the amount of protein in them, but I like the Quest bars and eat them frequently

I did, I was on day 2 of my period, I just made sure I told the nurse...Best Wishes
