I have been a member for a while but this is my first post. I was banded over 2 months ago with my first fill a month ago. I have been eating what I should and have started working out. My frustration is I am not losing any weight. When I went for my fill I recieved 2.5cc in a VG 10cc band and it was tight. I was barley able to eat clear liquids the first few days. When I got on solids it was the same way for a week or so. Now I can eat whatever I want, however I don't. Breakfast is 1/2 c oatmeal with a 1/2 of an apple. Lunch is a salad with green veggies, blueberries and small bites of steak. Dinner is protein, green veggies and maybe 1/2c of carbs. I only drink water. I started a new job 4 weeks ago and am on my feet all day running around. I also work out in my pool nightly. I am desperate. I don't know if I need a fill as the doctor told me I would only need .1 or .2cc with my next one. I just feel like a failure and don't know what to do or who to talk to. Can someone help me please. I appreciate you reading this and allowing me to vent. Thank you, Lora:frown::smile:

First of all THANK YOU to all the responses. To answer a few things that came up. I am not dieting per say, but am following the rules with protein first. I finally figured out my calorie intake and it was only 800 so I uped it to 1400 earlier this week. I know I may be losing inches somewhere it is just hard to tell. My band is the INAMED VG band which holds a total of 10cc. Per my fill doctor he said my band looks good but it will only take small fills for me rather than larger ones who knows. Anyway one day at a time as they say. Thanks again. Lora
