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??

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
