Hey guys, so, I'm wondering if anyone else is struggling like I am? I was banded May 3rd, and so far have lost 40 pounds, which I'm absolutely thrilled about, but I haven't lost any weight in over a month. I've had 3 fills, and I know I have resriction, but I'm still able to eat WAY too much. I catch myself eating portions about the size I had pre-surgery. I'm getting so frustrated with myself that I'm making poor food decisions. I feel as if mentally I'm back to how I was pre-surgery. Any words of encouragement? I think it'll make me feel better knowing I'm not the only one that has had this problem... Although I don't wish it on to anyone! I just get so mad at myself...

Do you keep a food journal detailing everything you eat each day and keep track of the caloires, fat, Protein, etc? You will be surprised how fast the calories add up. Everyone has had great advise and the food journal is the only other advise I can think of. I was banded on March 1 of his year and still have not had a fill. The Dr feels it is still working and I am continuing to loose weight.

Keep positive and great luck to you!
