I would love to get in a loop with December 2010, January 2011, February 2011 band people.  I'm struggling with finding a good support network and it would be so great to touch base with been there, doing that people in the same stages.  Thanks in advance!!

Sounds great.  What do you think is the best way?  I am not the best with what this site has to offer other than this board.  Any ideas? 

Okay, 91 pounds since February?!  That's amazing.  Please tell me what you are doing.  How many calories a day, what your rules are from your surgeon.  I've been stalled for close to 3 months and it's frustrating as all get out.  My nutritionist pretty much takes the view that this is a lifestyle and don't focus on counting calories. That doesn't work for me because I have the kind of band restriction that I don't get hungry often, but I can eat pretty much anything (and my band is nearly full).  I don't have any foods I can't eat or amounts, really, so I need to weigh and measure of plan all of that, so I'm at a bit of a loss.

I'm Feb 25th.  I could sure use some extra buddies on this path!  I have 4 fills, but I have no idea how "full" my band actually is (as compared to how much it can hold).  I do pretty well on staying satisfied for 3-4 hours.  But like sushi, I can eat anything, and often I can (but don't) eat as much as I want to.

Hey guys, I'm another 1-14-11.  And as I haven't lost as much as any of you, and do Curves Zumba 4-6 times a week, I should make all of you feel better. But seriously, I'm happy as long as the scale is going in the down direction.

Hi !!!

I was banded on Jan 18th.  I would love to also chat.  I have 4.5 cc's in my band.  I also can eat anything I want.  Just not a lot.....I'm down 50 lbs and struggling a little.  But I travel a lot therefore, eating out a lot LOL..

Ooops, been a few days since I was on...Thanks for the compliments!!!!  I have been so pleased with my band and can't believe I will be 6 months out next week.
I lost 10 lbs on my own before my surgery during my 6 month pre-surgery following.  I have lost 81 since surgery.
My dr. says no more than 800 calories a day while I'm losing and then no more than 1200 for the rest of my life.  I track everything I eat on myfitnesspal.com.  I have been over once or twice but I really try to stick to the 800.  I eat more protein than anything.  I have started following Hungry Girl (shows, books and website).  I have used a lot of her recipes.  I try not to snack but if I do, its a 5 calorie turkey jerky stick or a 100 calorie pack of something. 
I walk about 4 or 5 days a week for about 50 min.  I was going to the gym too but when baseball season started for my son, that was out.  I need to start lifting cause this extra skin is NOT pretty!
I have a picture of myself from last Sept. at the beach hanging in my bathroom...all the motivation I need!
