I got banded March 10 2011, and I have only lost 20 pounds since. I am frustrated that I am not losing like I thought I would. I had imagined I would have lost at least 30 to 40 pounds! I barely eat food now. I made the decision out of desesparation to join the nutri system diet. Strangely enough I don't throw it out like regular food. The food is not extremely awesome, but is not horrible either. It's the lack of discipline that I don't have because everytime I now it's time to eat, it feels like an exciting adventure. I feel like ok so now what am I going to eat? etc, but with the nutri system at least I have the food already cooked. I am workinig on establishing the discipline of sticking to the food and the diet.

Why am I losing at such a slow pace? ??????

Sure I will give it a try

Claudia, do you read any blogs? I read one blog where the bandster is also doing NutriSystem. You should leave her a comment- I bet you two could be a big help to eachother!

How do I know I will need another fill? Anyone?

How do I know I will need another fill? Anyone?

You are eating larger portion and hungry between meals. Seems all DR's are differnet in the time they want you to wait between fills. Mine is every 4 weeks.

My Dr. says you need a fill if you cannot go 4-5 hours after a meal without being hungry, if you can eat 1/2 a sandwich, &/or you are scavenging for food.
