So discouraged and I just need some support

I was banded on 10/10/12 and immediately dropped 11 lbs. I was working out and eating right (which I am still doing). I have not lost ANY more weight. I just had my first fill on 11/29/12 and my dr put in 5 cc's. I don't feel restricted, I'm always hungry even when I eat Protein packed food.

I have a lot of stressors right now(my husband is deploying to Afghanistan) and I know that's part of it, but I am just so discouraged and almost disgusted that I had this amazing surgery and STILL cannot lose weight.

I guess I just feel alone on this. I want to be healthy and fit and it's just not happening. Le sigh.

I agree tmf. Greek yogurt is fine for more seasoned bandsters but not new ones. Its full of sugar. I would say you need to learn to eat real food with your band. Not the stuff you are eating. You should be focusing on protein first then other stuff if you have room. That is the problem with people they want to depend on slider foods instead of learning to eat real food with their band. You will find yourself more satisfied with real food if you would eat it.
