Thanks NewSho for the advise. I too have been struggling to lose. I was banded 11-21-08, to date I have lost nothing. Yes its very discouraging. But I have noone to blame but myself. Initially I lost 20 lbs post op, but gained it back due to my very bad eating habits. But im not giving up. Its worth a try. I can in no way shape form or fashion blame this on my band. One good thing, I continue to exercise here and there. Im also in need of an adjustment, as I can eat alot more food than allowed. Im a work in progress, and Im willing to try just about anything. Hey, its worth a try anyway. So thanks for the awesome post.
