I'm in plateau hell and feeling pretty crummy about it. It's not fair that I workout as hard as I do and do all the work, yet no budging on the scale. So unhappy right now.

I am so proud of you. Today I feel so down because I've been working out a lot and doing things right yet I'm still on a 6 week plateau I just can't seem to shake. I can't even bring myself to update my tickers for the lack of progress. I was lying in bed wondering how I can stay very positive right now. So I thought, let me log in today and search out some before and after pics for inspiration. I didn't even get to search. Right there was your post and when I saw how pretty you looked in your size 10 and that cute flower on your head, I just cried. I cried because it is possible and because I feel so proud of peers like you who've made it there. I'm going to keep looking at your size 10 for continued inspiration. Thank you so much for posting those pics today.

Vitalady.com is the best website I've found when it comes to Nutritional Value of protein shakes...how much time I have spent going from site to site trying to get this info...so glad I found it.

Things are great! I'm down to 214. I can't believe I finally had a super awesome month- lost a total of 10 lbs and fit into a snug 16 but still consider myself between 16 and small 18's. Whoohoo! I'm so excited. I hope I can keep up the momentum since I've had a really rough time.

Ok. I am totally with you on this most puzzling question... On my post-op consult that's the day my Doctor even mentioned the Realize band so I am really glad that you know about the options so far out from your surgery date. But I FREAKED OUT! I freaked out because I had all my research done etc regarding the LapBand... So when he said Realize Band, I just felt completely overwhealmed. I mean, my surgery was a week away! I did go ahead and did some frantic last minute research on the Realize Band and compared the two. This is my experience and the choice I made... I chose the Realize Band. My doctor informed me that the huge majority of his patients experience less restricted foods with the Realize band. For example, the people I know with the LapBand can't eat salads, most breads and a lot of meats (And I know some people can, I'm just mentioning the ones I know and I know everyone is different). Personally, I have not experienced any major problems eating any of the above mentioned foods. In fact, I do enjoy each quite a bit now after the surgery and haven't had any problems keeping them down. I just wanted to feel that I was eating as normal as I possibly could. One of my friend has had the LapBand for 3 years and she still can't eat a lot of foods. My doctor also mentioned that with the LapBand having so many more restricted foods could aid with faster weight loss. I do see that those with more food restrictions loose more. But again, for MY EXPERIENCE, I just felt that I didn't want to feel so unhappy about not being able to eat salads and meats- I mean, it's my favorite. But that comes at a price for me since my weight loss has been very gradual and in my mind slow. So there IS A TRADE OFF. HOWEVER, I am still VERY, VERY, VERY happy with my decision.
