you sound like me...i was never one to eat much of the "bad" stuff, but have a quantity issue...i too am eating essentially the same things and on most days, less...however, i feel like i can still eat quite a bit...i'm eating mashed potatoes as well and soups, etc...i'm definitely having trouble with breads, etc...funny, i can still eat bacon!! we'll see, i'm trying not to get too discouraged with the 10 pounds a month weight loss...saw a lady that lost 40# in her first two months which scared me, but nice to know there's others out there like me! thanks for writing!! don't give up!!

thanks for the reply, gecko! my band has been adjusted 3 times so far...my dr. says that on average it takes 7 adjustments before we are at optimal banding...i cancelled my appt today because i feel like i shouldn't have it adjusted quite yet...i haven't begun exercising which i should, are you? i just want to get rid of it quicker i guess...what are you eating?

Hi there...this is my first post...i was banded on july 7th and have lost approximately 18 pounds...my clothes are fitting better...i'm trying not to get discouraged and my doctor tells me not to as well...anyone else having such a slow time of it?
