I am 11 months in and have only lost 56 pounds. I feel like I should have lost so much more. I started out at 320 and am now down to 264. I feel like I eat too much for someone with a band, but everytime I go in for a fill I end up choking on every little thing. Not sure what to do? What does everyones diet consist of and how much?

High Protein, low carb, low fat. Keep porportions down 2-4oz. I do "MY Fit Foods" during the week. I buy the smalls that is 2 meals. I am 2 months out and have lost 33lbs.

I wouldn't be too disappointed as you're ahead of the one pound per week estimate that my surgeon suggests is typical. Congrats on the weight loss.

We are all different and are going to lose at different rates.

Protein is key-- I buy EAS Protein Bars to snack on during the day. Cut them up put them in a baggis and when that sneakly little hunger gremlin appears I have one piece of the Protein Bar.

Exercise-- And no it is no easy for me to say , since I have arthritis in both knees and both wrists .. I do manage to go Water walking at least 2x a week.

Writeonamber you have lost nearly 120 pounds in less then a year that is amazing. How can I not be disappointed in myself in losing only 56 pounds in 11 months. I didn't know that you lose some fill after air travel. Is that true?

What are you eating? In what amounts? What kinds of exercise are you doing?

Can you up your exercise? I am a bit overkill on the exercise BUT I do notice a HUGE difference now that I work out more.

I don't count calories and I don't count fat. I count Protein. As long as I get 65 grams I am doing well.

You are doing great! How much would you have gained in that year?

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
