New Lap-banders and people looking to lose over 50 lbs

Options
Hello everyone. I was just banded on 11/5/2012 and have only lost 20 lbs since. I really need some support. Any tips?

    My advice would be to open up your food diary. Its easier for others to help out if they can see what you are eating. But 20lbs loss since nov. Is pretty good imo.

    I had the gastric bypass instead of lap-band (in 2009). I lost a lot faster than you seem to. (I was down 175 pounds in a year and a half). You really have to be careful of your portions. I agree with the above, let others see your food diary and then ask questions on it.

    That's a good idea. Thinking about it makes me embarrassed because I know I should not have what I eat most of the time. Opening up my diary will make me more aware. Thx.
