So I am just stuck between the same couple of pounds. I keep yo-yo-ing back and forth. I am no where near my goal weight. Not even half way there yet. Anyone have any advice? I am debating doing a liquid diet to jump start things. Any other ideas to get my weight loss going again? I will be having another fill next week, so hopefully that will get me started too.

TIA!

My doctor makes us choose a food plan. Either Eat for Life or Eat Clean. I am following the Eating clean food plan. www.eatcleandiet.com Buy the book! it has great recipes and they are so band friendly! The premise is to eat 5-6 small meals per day with the right amount of protein and carbs (carbs from fruit and vegetable)s. My weightloss was slow in november and december but it has been falling off since Januray when we really took our eating clean up a notch. Most of you are already working out so you probably need a little more food to help your body let go of the extra weight. Think of the small clean meals as a way to get your body fueld to lose weight.

With the band, its been amazing, i actually have to make sure that i eat properly and when i do get enough protein (there are protein calculators out there for people who exercise) then i lose . and lose inches!!! its fantastic. I am 179 yet in a 10-12. I fully expect to be at goal of 155 by july (that is only 24 lbs more in 4 months and i have lost almost 50 in 7 months) Its great, consistent weight loss. Try either plan, eating for life or eating clean, you will love the results! My colleagues (who have not been banded) recently started to eat clean and theya re dropping the pounds and cant believe it b/c they feel like thye are eating all the time!

Thank you for the website recommendation! I am checking it out right now. They have those books at my library too, so I am going to check them out!

I am getting a fill tomorrow, so I'll see if that helps too.
