yfitnesspal.com will track everything including restrant food..tracking has been the key for me I also make a veggie Soup (not much broth) very low cals and have some protient. 50oz of Water and 32 oz of Snapple one coffee (no sugar) and one tea. tracking will tell you a lot. I also weight every morning and put it on the calendar and soon I saw a pateran and could make some changes... If you are hungry b4 4 hours you need a fill...this is a diet and the diet rules apply but the band helps with hunger and you can truly control what and when you eat. do the work and the pounds fall off track it track it track it....you can do this I cant believe I am 70 lbs lighter and mentally and physical I feel great all the time I never knew this feeling and it is wonderful.

Thank you everyone! I've started tracking calories and drinking more Water, I haven't lost anything yet but I am going for another fill which will be my 5th fill probably about 8cc, lets hope it's green zone time!!!

Glad you're keeping positive about this. I would recommend going to an endocrinologist to get tested for a potential hormone imbalance. It might be that you just have something that is preventing you from losing weight. I hope this is not the case just for the sake of your health, but I have a friend with thyroid problem that was gaining weight even after her WLS. She's now medicated and back on track!

I'm at over 14cc in a 14cc band. Sometimes you just have to crank that baby to 11! That being said, I exercise almost every day and I follow a low carb high protein/fat diet and avoid sugar, fruits, breads, rice, etc.

Are you really 14cc's in a 14cc band??

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      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!!
