Hi Marebeth, YES, it is happening to me and I feel your frustation..... I was banded on the 7th of September so I am about 3 1/2 weeks out. I lost 9 lbs the first week post op and have not lost anything since. I am very frustrated and don't know what to do. I am on soft table food that you can cut with a fork. Everything goes down fine, no problems. I had my 2 week post op last week and they told me I was not eating enough. Really?? I am having @ 700 calories a day, 50-60 grams protein and 60 oz liquids per day. No more protein shakes and not hungry. What am I dong wrong???? Does anyone out there have any advice?? Should I eat more, less..??? I thought the whole philosophy behind the band was to eat less and less as you get more and more restriction. Well, if I'm eating less now and not losing is this gonna work for me????? HELP!!!!!

Hi All, I am new to this website so I am still getting use to how it works. I am 3 weeks post op. I was banded on 9/7. Everything went great and I feel great. My only concern it the weight loss. I lost 13 lbs on the pre op liquid diet and only 7 lbs since surgery. I have not lost any weight in the last week and a half. Don't know what I am doing wrong???? I am eating all the Proteins, but having a problem with 64 oz of Water. Could that be the answer?? Water.
