So i got banded march 12th and im feeling defeated because im still not in the green zone and have only lost around 10 pounds. Im really starting to question if I made the right choice by getting banded. Ive had four fills and still feel no restriction. While my friend who had hers done two months before me is down 45 pounds! Ugh.....what am i doing wrong and what can i do to fix this?

are you tracking your calories? I do and that is a huge help in knowing how much you are taking in.

Maybe go see your doctor and a nutritionist- they should be able to get you on a plan that could help.

It took me about 8 months to get to the "green zone" and by then I was 20 pounds away from goal. What worked for me is I changed my lifestyle completely. I logged everything that went into my mouth (I use MyFitnessPal) and I stuck to 1200 calories a day with a high focus on Protein (60-70 gram a day). I also got a pedometer (FitBit) and started walking, I goaled for 10,000 steps and 25 flights of stairs a day.

The band will help you, but you have to do your part. Don't compare yourself to others, your journey is going to be unique to you.

I have a friend that say's it's all about WANT power, if you want it bad enough you will make it happen.

It sounds like you want it, so make it happen!
