I would love to have there be helpful info in there about the usual protocals for newly banded and for when you have a fill as well. and what the usual person in the sweet zone should be eating to obtain a steady weight loss. then how to boost that loss when you start to feel stalled . these would be helpful things to have in print to be able to re read when you need motivation. I have been looking for a book to read on the subject and there is not one out there not that I have found only for the gastric bypass people and we really are diffrent than what is discribed in that. My sister and I had just been talking on the phone today about writing a book like that. lol and then here I find you alll talking about it. I have been banded over a year and am feeling very down and impatient right now about my progress and was just searching and found this site today . I have lost about 40 lbs but still weight 254 and have been on a platau for about three months. I am thnking I need a fill as I can eat almost anything with out a problem. I have an insurance issue I am trying to get straight first. I have never had any real support from my DR and have not been able to go to any meetings or have any nutrition consults except before hand so feel maybe I could have been doing more to help myself so I feel guilty for not loosing more. But the real problem is head hunger and that I just love to eat. where do I send the recipies I have to? and are they being posted here somewhere? I am pretty new to bloging sorry for the dumb questions. Looking forward to the cook book and would love to help with it. Hugs gail:thumbup:

I like the new whey protien shot tubes. I like you at first justs did clear liquids for two weeks and my hair started to fall out. I know that some of that is from the ansethesia but I it was also from low protien intake

I love the bulllets I add them to a liquid yougart and put my liquid vitamins in there too and I am set for the day. that is my breakfast and keeps me satisfied till lunch. i usually also add some Flax seed powder too. I sometimes put it in my little one serving blender with a bit of low cal juice and Ice as well for a smoothy .

Hi there this is my first time topost but I am very much in the same place as you were feeling here. I was banded Feb of07 and have lost about 40 lbs but sense Christmas I have been gaining and loosing the seme 5 llbs back I have given up chocolate as I thought that was my problem buy still am not loosing. I know I can eat more than I should be now and I need to contol it better but seem to be hungery all the time. I know I am not to loose to need a tightning as I still get sick from time to time if I eat scrambled hamburger or doughy bread etc. sol It has to still be tight enough. I hope I haven't streched myself out to much from my bad habits. Any suggestions would be helpful to get back with it. It is just to hard I was pucturing the pounds just melting off me but this has sure not happened at all and I am frusterating. I never eat more that 1500 cal a day and still do not loose.
