I like the idea of looking at 10 pounds at a time. Thanks for the encouragement.

So good to hear from you. I think many times I would be full and not know it, then eat a few more bites and then get stuck, then get mad because I felt so terrible, soooo then I would have instant potatoes, potted meat, protein smoothes, applesauce, soup, and yes even frozen yougurt for a day or two. I have felt like I am doing much better the last two weeks.

Hi Susan, thanks for responding. I can keep liquids down but yesterday I had some real trouble with some noodles. I was keeping record of intake on the weight watchers web site but it was expensive. I think I will look at the daily plate. I noticed that you went to the sleeve revision. Did you like the band? I am wondering about if my band is going to be the best choice. I was told to take in about 1200 calories to see weight loss. I havent had reflux. So good to hear from you. Thank you

Thanks for responding Chris. I read what others have lost and I know that I need to have lost more than 18 pounnds in what is now almost 2 years. I really need to walk but have to take alieve just to walk due to arthritis pain. I also think water is a big factor but I seem to have trouble getting it in between the meals. What have you found that works for you?

Hello, I am looking for support from people that have been banded for awhile. I was banded in Georgetown, Ky in September 2007. I can't seem to find anyone from our old websites/chats and I am so frustrated with my bandlife. "Is anybody out there?" After having many fills, a large unfill and fills again, I am feeling quite tight. My last fill was 12 days ago. :smile2: I've only lost 18 pounds since my 07 surgery. HELP!

Hello, I am new to this site and joined today because A. I am so frustrated at the moment because I have some veggie/Thai noodles stuck and looking for answers on how to get unstuck and B. I have been banded for 21 months and have only lost 15 pounds. I went off of a previous site months ago because although I was happy for others that lost the weight I was so upset because I couldnt share the true feeling of weight loss. Its good to read how others are doing well, as it gives me hope.
