thanks for all the awesome advice. :thumbdown:

Just wondering. I play ice hockey and have considered the lap band surgery. I weight about 245, and want to get down to about 175-180. Ive done the diet thing, and i play hockey, but literally the only way i lose weight is to go on nothing but an all salad diet. My metabolism is just horrible. I eat less then half of what my brother eats, I exercise, and I stay heavy, i have a huge stomach, the rest of me looks fine. I dont understand why exactly, but its just too damn hard to starve myself in order to lose weight. Like I said i play hockey, and i want to continue to play hockey. So my question is, will this stop me from playing it? i dont play check hockey, but you do get bumped, you fall to the ice frequently, you slam into the boards...crap happens. to me hockey is more important than my weight, so if its something i have to give up, then ill live with the weight.
