I'm coming up on a year since my surgery, and I've only lost 22 pounds. I'd love your opinions on what I can do to get back on track.
Since the surgery, I started off doing well at exercising, but had two falls in which I hurt both knees, so walking got really rough. Before the surgery, I fell (in the locker room at Water aerobics) on my keester and am still hurting from that, though I guess I didn't break anything. (My keester has adequate padding!) So now I'm back to walking, but I guess not frequently enough.
I have 9.5 cc in an 11 cm VG Band, and feel like I can eat far too normally. I never was a really big eater -- I've had people who spend a lot of time with me tell me that I don't eat nearly enough to be as fat as I am. I've always said I don't eat too much, but I do eat the wrong things (carbs).
I have frequent episodes where I swallow too fast and then start coughing (PB and sliming, I guess). This happens as often as 3 times a day but not every day. I'm thinking maybe I was too aggressive with the fills and need a slight unfill.
So the good news is, I'm stronger and a little bit less fat than before the surgery but I haven't lost anything since Christmas. HELP!
