Had the band done in Sept./07 and have lost 102 pounds so far with 29 left to go. YAY!! But I'm S T U C K at 168lbs and have been for about 6-8 weeks. Maybe a very small fill but I'm not eating much at all now. I get a good amount of exercise being in retail selling as a job and also go to the gym. Is there any food that promotes weight loss??? Asparagus? Watermelon? I need all the tips I can get to lose these last few pounds.:thumbup:

I'm also stuck! I did take a few days off from exercise 3 days and today I had so much more energy! I guess you really do need to change things up or the bod adapts and maximizes the incoming calories and energy consumption. I've lost 65 pounds and want to lose another 35-40 to reach my goal weight. I'm going to try to start weight training to mix up my routine. I've been walking and runnning 4 miles ,6-7 days a week, twice a day but now nothing seems to work. The 3 day rest seemed to help my strength and energy but I did gain some weight. It is frustrating to plateau for so long after so much good fast weight loss. I'm trying to be positive and view this as a long term body learning experience. Let me know what you try when you start losing again as I'm positive you will as you have done so well so far!

So this doctor once put me on this super hard diet, but it works...

in the morning a bowl of oatmeal, glass of 1% or soy milk

salad w low fat dressing

tuna

chicken

rice

those were the main options to eat...sucks yes

as far as fruit

no banannas or grapes..really watermelon was highly encouraged

also no carrots

I think thats the gist of it..Im about to start trying it again cause Im stuck
