I was banded oct 3 2012 i am getting very frustrated i was 290 when i started and i am currently fluctuating between 250-255 and i cant seem to get undet 250 I have had three fills and cannott seem to lose any more weight. I eat my protien first and only eat one cup at each meal. I lost 60 ppounds on weight watchers before the band and now im wondering if ive made the right decision at getting the band

I was just banded September 24th and understand your frustration but still think it is the best thing I ever did. What happened to the 60 pounds you lost at weight watchers? Did you keep it off? I didn't but feel I have a better chance of permanent success. I say be patient. You did not gain this weight overnight so don't expect it to come off overnight. Good luck and keep us posted.

You have lost 40 lbs in 2 months. That is fabulous. Your body is just adjusting and within days if you stick to your plan you will see the scale move. Plateaus are a normal part of the journey.... It just takes a special person to not give up and get frustrated during these times. Keep doing what you are supposed to...it will happen!!!

      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.
