I don't know enough about you, your eating (food choices, amounts, frequency), exercise, and fill history to give you suggestions. Are you talking about a weight loss plateau, and if so, how long has it lasted? Have you discussed this with your surgeon and/or dietitian? Do you feel that you have optimal restriction? Do you think you need a fill? Etc, etc, etc...

Three days of a liquid diet might help knock off a pound or two, but it's not a longterm solution.

We need more info. When were you banded? What stage of pre op are you at?

If you are eating properly and gaining then I would call my dr. and discuss it with him. Also are you watching your sodium intake?

I was banded on 15th march 2011...i lost wt only in the first month. my weight earlier was 92.5 kg...i came down to 85 kg. then I had liposuction for thighs and hips and came down to 81kg...but now I am putting on wt.gone to 83 kg. I am eating Proteins, have Water, but my exercise is not much...due to arthritis my movements are slow.I am mostly a vegetarian so sometimes Protein is less.

I would recommend counting or tracking your calories.. Don't forget the calories you might drink. Myfitnesspal is perfect for this. See if that doesn't help! I would aim for 1000-1200 calories a day with a sedentary lifestyle.

You lose mostly Water weight on liquid diets not fat. Are you weighing and measuring your food?

What does your bariatric surgeon have to say about your disappointing weight loss?

In india lap band is not so successful because our diet is very low in Proteins. we dont get good options for non veg also.i have had 2 fills and dont feel very hungry. but now my body has got used to the 1200 cal diet .so I thought of going on a liquid diet for few days. I am going to Melbourne on 1st.I do want to loose few kgs.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
