Wow you're very fortunate! I wouldn't consider food to be unappealing to be a bad thing!! LOL :smile2:

I should be so lucky.

Everybody said the LB is to tight. How can the band becomes to tight after 1 or 2 years went no problems.

I just can't understand how. Yes you can loose some hair

I did for about 8 months, it stop, starting growing back.

why do every one keep saying the LB is to tight. If it been one or two yrs. from surgery. All of a sudden your band is to tight. It just not make sense. Loretta

Haven't you guys ever seen the Biggest Loser episodes where someone's stopped losing weight and Bob or Jillian says that they're not eating enough calories?? I find if I vary my calorie intake - so some days a bit more, and some days a bit less, the weight comes off.

As far as the food aversion, you poor bandster. I would suggest getting an unfill at least for a few months until your appetite comes back... but make sure you're working out loads so that you don't gain any weight. I've had my band for a year, and find that my eating is in general getting better and better -- but I have gone through periods where ice cream and Soups are my only friend, and that's when I don't lose at all!

Until you can get your fill to the proper level with a slight unfill, you can make fresh fruit smoothies with all kinds of berries, pineapple, bananas, and yogurt with ice in a good blender and even add Protein powder. I even throw raw spinach in mine. I also eat Beans a lot which go down really easy and Peanut Butter which are both ok sources of Protein. I love spicy barbecue black Beans and I often make up a pot of assorted barbecue beans in a nice flavored sauce. They go down so easy.
