You know it's interesting that you are counting calories. I know that seems weird to say, but my nutritionist told me not to count calories but Proteins for the first couple months. I was suppose to have around 60 grams of Protein a day, which mostly came from dinner for me. When I did that I noticed that I was more balanced when I ate. Combine that with liquids and some exercise and you have a good deal going. Now for me after time I went back to my old routine of counting calories and had a major plateau so I think I will go back to basics.

Thank you so much Kelly! That is exactly what I needed to hear. You're absolutely right. It's been so tough lately and it's like I know what I'm suppose to be doing but I have lost the drive to do it. My poor husband is trying so hard to get me back on track but I keep telling him that he can't fix my problem. It helps that he is there for me but this is some mental block that I have to get through.
I would love to hear your story about your band and how it's been going in your life. And thank you for your words of encouragement. If there is anything you need I'm here for you too!.

I saw your blog about getting discouraged. I just want to let you know that I am in the same boat. I was banded on Oct. 26 and I have only lost about 20-25 lbs. My doctor told me that if a "healthy" person loses 30lbs in the first year. You have meet the expectation. Healthy meaning overweight but no major healthy conditions. So don't give up, your doing great and your not alone
When I'm feeling down, I try to remind myself not to compare myself to anyone else because everyone is different! ~Kelly

Well today is the first day I have ever PB'd. I've had food stuck before and have felt quite a bit of pain during it, but never pb'd. It wasn't a good feeling especially since after I was still feeling quite a bit of pain. I've been in a rut for several months now. Not gaining weight but also not losing it. Quite frankly I feel like people are looking at me and thinking "Yup another one of those lazy people who thought weight loss surgery would fix it." The problem is that I'm not lazy and I have tried to fix it. I have been using food to make me feel good for so long that now it's so hard to let it go. It's hard to let the weight go. I feel miserable being overweight. I'm going to start with my liquids again today, because I don't want my band to get too irritated. I'm going to try harder and snap out of this rut I'm in. Going back to the basics. It's been over a year and I've lost 38 pounds. Ugh it needs to be more. I need to feel more accomplished than that.
