Joe, it seems you've been pretty diligent about posting your meals so I'm going to join you so you're not alone. I was banded on Oct 20th and my weight loss has been pretty steady. I have however slowed down (as expected), I don't get my first fill till the first week of Dec and I can't do any running or weight lifting yet so I'm walking a few times a week (1.5-2 miles/per). Today I've had:

B: 2 egg whites, 1/2 peice of whole wheat toast

S: 6 oz V8

L: California Rolls 6 peices

S: yogurt (Probably)

Did a half hour on the treadmill today and burnt a 150 calories but I'm only day 7 and I don't have a calorie count like you do on my food, I should start doing that.

From what some of you have said it looks like you can just gain the weight right back after a while. Being skinny once, now fat and now trying to get skinny again I can appreciate what you guys are going through. I'll have to retrain my brain to the way I eat and maybe post pictures of myself around the house overweight to deter me from over eating as I go along. I guess its all about will power, which is something I wish I had more of and hope I develop as I go along.
