Hi,
I wish I could offer you some great advice, or more helpful information.  It sounds like you are doing everything you can do for success, but why it is eluding you, I can't say.  I wanted to express that you are not alone in the struggling part however.  I was banded June 18th, and have been struggling to loose as well.  I have been discouraged that most of my weight loss was during the presurgery period.  As soon as I was healed, I began excersizing like crazy.  I have dropped clothing sizes since then, which I am glad about, but have felt most discouraged that the scales are not showing better results.  I am struggling terribly with hunger, cravings, and stress, all of which make that 4 oz a meal, and no snacks very difficult to maintain.  Some days feel like a cycle of frustration as I excersize so hard, try to be very strict with my eating, and then find no weight loss.  I know that I must accept that any variation from the surgery center's diet/eating plan is only sabotaging my efforts and results.  It is the most difficult struggle of my life to attempt to change these very strong patterns of behavior.  Some how we must move forward toward our goals though, but certainly all the advice and support we can get will help.  I hope that things will take a turn for the better for you soon.  Perhaps we are seeing fat reverted to muscle in some of our lack of lbs lost, with all this increased physical activities?  At least that is my hope and that soon, the scales will start giving me good news again.  Good luck and keep us posted.

I am so sorry.  I hope he can squeeze you in sooner.  Thank you for letting us know so we have a heads up.

I will pray that you can get in sooner and can rearrange everything easily.

Judy
