Hello from La

Hello from Louisiana. This is my first post. I had lap-band surgery 3/5/08 and have lost only 19lbs. It's been pretty frustrating because the weight hasn't been coming off as quickly as I had anticipated. I've had 3 fills. I am at 3.5cc's and I am exercising at least 4 days a week. Not sure what the problem is. I feel like the band is working because I am only eating a very small amount of food and I feel satisified when I eat. To be honest I don't know if I'm eating enough. Any thoughts???:thumbup:

Hey Tootie, former New Orleanian here and with the fabulous food down there, it would be pretty hard to lose weight. In fact, that's where I gained a lot of mine!

But seriously, I'm sure it's frustrating for you. Are you tracking your food? Do you know how many calories a day you're eating, how much Protein, and how many carbs? That information would be helpful.

This is a good place to track for free.Calorie Counter, Diet Tracking, food Journal, Nutrition Facts at The Daily Plate

I haven't been keeping up with my journal regularly. I guess I need to start paying closer attention. It's just hard to calculate how many calories/carbs in a few bites of something.
