Since I had my surgery almost 2 years ago I've only lost 62lbs (started at 374) and I'm so depressed about that I searched high and low for a support group...maybe found it here?? I just joined a gym 2 weeks ago and have been going 5 days a week working out about 1 - 2 hours each day. My main problem is eating all day, I tend to get too busy during the day and not eating at all so I pig out at night...that and I didn't get a fill for over a year...but trying to be better now. I want to lose 4 sizes by July 4th (my 30th bday)...that's my main goal right now! Wish me luck.

I find myself in the same boat as well...I was banded on March 18th, 2008 and I have found that I've only lost 62lbs and 6 sizes in that time...to make matters worse my old roommate had the surgery in Dec 2007 and has dropped so much weight that she is a totally different looking person now. I was unable to get a fill in over a year and just started going back but I'm finding myself getting frustrated and down at my lack of weight loss all the time...I feel like I failed. I recently got a gym membership and I've started working out 5 days a week for about an hour or two each day...but I'm still so down on myself...has anyone else had this issue of not losing??

Oh I am so glad I am not the only one who has felt like a failure...I had the band almost 2 years ago and I have only lost about 60lbs and 4 sizes...I'm trying to really work harder at it now because I've been so frustrated. Thank you for sharing the food ideas with us!
