Am I the only one that is still hunger even after eating or drinking protein? I am not doing well with this band sometimes it restricts and other times it's like I have no band at all. I have a appt. on 7-16-13 and embarrassed to go and really want to hide because I feel like I am failing. I have only lost about 30lbs since Nov 2011. I need some major motivation!!!!

I feel desperate at times and think if I drink the protein it will make up for what i'm not eating (protein wise). I am not a good food planner and will eat whatever is available. I am really going to try to focus on my eating habits and choosing better meals / snacks.

Hi everyone, I had my 2nd fill on Thursday 2/16 and really needed it since I had hardly any restriction and could eat whatever I wanted. I had my surgery 11-2-11 and was weighing in at 287, my first fill was 12-29-11 and weighed in at 271 when I went to get my 2nd fill I was nervous because I really didn't feel like it was working even my son said to me "Mom I don't think the lap band is working for you since you eat alot still". Well I went in for the much needed fill and lost 9lbs?????? I was in shock how can that be I asked and the dr. told me your doing good 1-2lbs a week is right on track. I will let you know in about a week how it's going.

Well here Iam11 weeks post op thinking that i'm all alone.does anyone else feel this way???? When I got my first fill I have very little restriction in other words I can still drink my diet coke, eat more than i thought I would be able too. The only thing that i really don't eat anymore is bread and tortillas. I have cravings for sweets like ice cream and sweets. I have my next fill on Feb 19 so wish me luck
