This is my first attempt for online support. Not sure what to do. :confused:

I have been looking for support since my band was placed in 12/06. I found this site today. My doctor nor the surgery center have a support system (as they claimed they had pre-surgery). Im struggling with food. What to eat? The only meat I can consume without getting plugged is ground beef, thats b/c it is in some type of sauce. Sometimes a little chicken or sliced ham if it is smoothered in something wet and slide-able. Im tried of eating cottage cheese and apple sauce with all meats. Any suggestions? I have lost 36 lbs, but have not lost any more weight since July. It is now Nov.! This plateau would be great if I was at my desired weight, but I still have 62 lbs to go. Im thinking of removing some saline from the band so I can eat more healthier without getting clogged & going thru the painful agony of waitng for the food to pass. I just nib here and there b/c I hate to eat. It is to painful. :faint::help:

It sounds like you may be to tight. Not really sure, but good luck. Donna
