I'm Ruth. I was banded Dec. 26, 2006. I've lost approx. 40 lbs but none lateley. I think I expected too much of the procedure, a miracle I guess and didn't consider the fact, although I heard the phrase over and over, that this is only a tool. So now I'm trying to get back into a proactive frame of mind about this. I haven't gained weight while wallowing in my self pity, but I haven't lost either. I was only adjusted twice and I feel the restriction. I think it's perfect. The problem is me. I hope that am able to transition back into the lap band mentality, the mindfulness that I experienced earlier. I'm hoping that alot of people out there will help and inspire me.

Thanks,Ruth

Hi Ruth. I'm kind of in the same boat as you, I lost a lot at first but not much in the last few months.

I'm beginning to follow everyone's advice when they stall: go back to the bandster rules and as well start counting calories on FitDay. It can't help but get me back on track.

Come on and join us on the over 50's thread if you feel like it. We're not the only ones going through this!
