well, stop eating crappy food

eat good/healthy protein/veggie type foods

and eat the every so often type foods, every so often.

just make better choices in your foods.

you lost a good deal. Congrats and keep on going

Well ya can't move it down with crappy food my friend. Up your Protein and leave the crappy food alone. You will find that crappy food aint so snappy.

I had similar results after 3.5 months(12 lbs/5 kgs?). Then, I met with a bariatrics dietician and she made some recommendations that turned me in the right direction. Learning how to eat the lapband way is crucial. Understanding how the band works and what foods provide that level of satiety that gets us from one meal to the next is so important.

Crappy food usually means processed foods. Eating fresh meats, vegetables and fruit can get boring and the amount of time for food prep goes up but the reward is more weight loss.

My band is still tempermental. Mostly it's me. I sometimes eat too fast or take large bites of food that get stuck. Mornings can be the most difficult times. But as time goes along, you learn to slow down and eat smaller. Have a visit with your doctor's nutritionist/dietician and he/she can help guide you to a healthier life.

Today it's 2 years and 5 months since my lapband surgery. I've lost 125 pounds an no longer am I diabetic

Only had one fill 6 months after surgery

I eat anything I want, just a lot less

I go to the gym 3 times a week, something I could never do before the surgery

Only regret is not doing it sooner

It's so simple
