You don't have to give up veggies, or fruits, either, really. You just have to eat fruits that are lower in carbs, in moderation. That being said, you do have to be very disciplined... but the results are worth it if you can do that.

Try just going to sleep, that works for me. Or do something to keep your mind and hands busy. Or just... keep some low-cal snacks around. Everyone's made some great suggestions. :)

Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss... best books I've ever read.

Welcome to the club! :)

I don't mean to be indelicate... but being that you "only" (I know, sorry!) have 15 lbs to lose, it might take you longer than someone who's starting at a higher weight. Keep at it! Maybe only weigh yourself once a week so you'll be able to see maximum scale reflexions of your hard work. :) Good luck!

Oy, all these people who knew people, you'd think the whole world was banded. I agree with Nancy, Lapband and Gastric Bypass are NOT THE SAME THING! There is no stomach re-routing with the band, it's much less invasive. Maybe I'm biased. I was banded 12/20/2010, so almost 9 months, and I've lost 82 lbs thus far. I've…

Could definitely be. But your weight will fluctuate alot, it all just depends on how much you're exercising. I know I retain a bit of water after a good workout, but everyone's different.
