two years since i had the lap-band a little disappointed...

I actually don't journal either.  But that's because I'm weird and eat the same things practically every day....so why bother journaling.  I have a routine that I stick to and as long as I stick to the routine I know the calories are within my comfort range.  I always give myself a 200 calorie buffer...so if I grab a sucker or a chocolate kiss I am still ok. 

I would recommend you keep a food journal and if you can try and get to a support group with other bandsters.

I host  2 monthly coffee groups for people that are banded.  I also still get weighed in every month with my family doctor. Keeping in touch with other bandsters and weighing in every month keeps me motivated and on track.
