My wife and I haven't lost more than 70 pounds or so both had lap band and can't seem to get weight off. Need motivation to w exercise and diet. I have protein shake for breakfast and lunch then small meal At night no snacks and still not losing weight. What am I doing wrong?

My doc said no liquid protein to replace my meals. Liquid runs right through the band and doesn't keep you full. However if that is enough for you and you don't get hungry I say more power to you.

Okay I'm up at 5am and out the door in 30 minutes any suggestions on what I can eat n that small time fram?

i am ip early and on the road by 630 most days and I cannot eat that early so I bring my breakfast to work with me and have a hot beverage driving to the office then eat breakfast around 9am

I am in need of motivation and encouragement too. I was banded almost one year and half. I have recently gained 14 lbs over the last 6 mths. This is after my 3rd fill? I realize my habits have changed and I realize I need to focus on my diet and exercise.

Yes, I must say they have motivated me. I have been to the gym 4 TIMES already. Doing zumba, weights, and spin. Plus, I have been journaling my food and trying to read this forum more often..

Great job. Congrats on being motivated again.

Btw. I absolutely love zumba

I agree that Zumba is fun and it's an added bonus that it's exercise! I like Dannon (Oikos) Greek yogurt. LOVE the Key Lime Pie flavor. The yogurt has 11 g protein, so that's a good way to start the day. I don't eat it until I have been at work for an hour or so. I just don't eat breakfast as soon as I get up, but I often have an Atkin's protein drink on my drive to work. (Cafe' Caramel) is my fave. I don't drink coffee but It's like my coffee in the morning, on my way to work. (actually made with coffee) and it's giving me 15g protein right there. I sometimes boil eggs earlier in the week so that I have several days worth, to take for breakfast. I usually make it into an egg salad. Easier to eat that way. Sometimes scrambled with a little bacon bits and low fat/fat free cheese. sometimes i put in minced celery to add a few veggies early on.
