I can so relate!! I have my band pretty tight. I went from an 11CC to a 12CC and omg I cannot eat like before and one major thing that I know I must do is CHEW~! I noticed that like many of you, I can eat good one day and others maybe 2-3 bites. I am losing inches.. feels good to see the pants get loser and I noticed a total of 10lbs after having my band adjusted... Glad I am not alone on this.

Jodi, TYhanks for the tips! I am happy to say my diet is working now and planning to take yours too.. ! Thanks so much!

Ladies.. It has been a week.. I am size down and 5lbs down! FINALLY... Off to a good start. Decided to do another week of Liquids./

I am sure you will do great! Stay positvie!!! Just know we are with you!

Funny we are doing the same.. I am doing a protein shake and soup. Keeping it simple as well. I just had a Potatoe soup which was great!

I have been on liquids since Monday and doing the same as you... Want to share your diet with me?

Elysabeth! I will start with you if you want.. We can motivate each other !

Hi B-52.. My band is a 12CC band. I will try the 5 day pouch test

I can so relate to you... I was told the ssame and feeling the same...

It has been 3 months now. I have an appointment with my surgeon next week so I am hoping he can look into what is happening. I have felt some port pain more like uncomfort but not often. So I am hoping all goes well on Thursday when I see him.

What is the 5 day pouch test???

Pebbles the good thing is that you found the problem and can start over now. I am seeing my surgeon next week so they can check my band and make sure everything is ok... I can imagine that with everything pushing up while pregnant there could be a problem with the band. Stay postive and know that before you had the new one put in you had a problem which was not allowing your band to work properly.. Good luck and I am cheering for you!@

Hello Everyone! So, I got the band in August 2010 lost 30lbs and then suprisingly got pregnant in November 2010. My daughter was born in July 2011 and I gained 40 lbs during my pregnancy. I have lost 20 so far. I had my 12CC band at 7cc while pregnant and did not feel any restrictions while pregnant. Immediately after the baby I felt the restrictions again.I then went back in September 2011 and got another fill which my band was now at 9cc. I lost if anything 8lbs and did not feel restricted so, I went back February 2012 and got another fill my Doctor said it was the max and he could not do another one. So, here I am almost 3 months and I gain 2lbs and lose 2lbs. I am pretty much not losing anything. I can't eat as much because I have days that I feel restricted and days I don't but will feel an uncomfortable feeling after I eat. I am getting my Protein and staying under 1200 calories (I have my fitness plan). Last month I was doing bootcamp and again no weight loss. Has anyone had that problem before? How can I start over? The worst part is that I have days when I feel depress.... My Doctor gave me the option to have a gastro by pass but my company health insurance only covers one biatric surgery for life. Need help and motivation! What do I do?

Thanks everyone! ! I have 10cc fluid, do not feel restrictions only from time to time and not losing any weight.. Now I am getting depressed!
