i wish I could help. New to band and just got my first fill. Been a lil back and forth about surgery since I have not lost anything in the past 2 weeks. I am sure some good advice is on the way, Just curious, have you had your band filled beyond 3.5?

Hi Kelly,

Im sorry things are rough right now. How long has it been this way? What things are you trying to eat? Are you following the rules....chew,chew, chew?

Have you spoke to your doctor? Is it possible to need an unfill?

Sorry for all the questions...but it helps to have a few more details when giving advise.

Hang in there I'm sure things will get better.

Wow four months! Keep it up you are doing great keep asking for help. I remember when. I needed to slow down and put the Fork, Knife, Spoon down for a rest during every meal. I used to play games and see just how long I could let them be, before I picked them up again. I was always a (gulper) and a one bite (swallower). The band will keep you on your toes if you do not hold to those rules. Chew, chew, chew and chew some more to beat the band. Your mind thinks one thing, your taste buds another and with one swallow to fast or too large..... well we all know what happens then. No liquids we all know with meals RIGHT!

I needed so much help back in the day and I still need to be reminded or my band will get the best of me. 100 pounds still off, June 29 will be my three year Bandversary and I am once a Newbie always a Newbie. Had the full nip and tuck upper and lower. Took my first Spinning Class at he YMCA last week and can't wait to go again. I enjoy being one of the small people. Eat small to be small!

Easy does it and keep blogging, its the only thing that helped me work with my band as well as I have. I still keep learning new things.

Going to FL at the end of the month and my biggest problem now is I have to many clothes and don't know what to bring. Go figure!

Best wishes on your journey and keep blogging it helps. imaluckydog
