I am having a hard time sticking with it. I have had more success on diets before I even thought about the lap band. Now I almost feel like I don't want to be on it because I know in the next few months (hopefully) I will be on that road. My exersicing is good. My husband and I are in a gym. The owner fixed us up on a 5 day cardio and 3 day weights and some floor exercise. I am sticking to that good. But the diet is killing me. Is anyone else dealing with this.

I'm not that far out yet, but what are you eating? Can you be more specific about what you are having trouble with?

Hi, I'm doing the 6 month diet. I walk 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. I also try to keep calories at 1200 per day. Somedays it is easier than others. I don't count veggies in my calorie count. Since 9/28 I have lost 8.5 pounds. That keeps me motivated. Good luck!

I am not having trouble finding a diet. I am using W.W. In the past I could stick to it. But my point is I am having a hard time sticking with it. Knowing that I am getting the band put on. I go in to see my Dr. every week. So it is supervised. I am just dealing with a mental hang up. I don't know.

Cut out ALL white carbs. Flour, sugar, pasta, rice, and potatoes. It's the difference between night and day. Seems to be that most of us are bad carb addicts. That's not a good thing. Not a single white carb (including potatoes) is necessary for good diet.
