I have exactly the same issues. I am 5 months out and have played with the same 4-5 pounds for over a month now. I upped my intake of Liquid Protein and that seems to help some, but still haven't gotten down beyond those same 4-5 pounds. I'll lose a couple, then gain them back, then lose them, then gain them. Some days I can eat anything and other days everything is a chore and I throw up. It's a roller coaster, but I am not discouraged! I'm still learning to respect the band and let it be the tool it's supposed to be. It will never be easy for me, but will be worthwhile. One other thing I might add. My support group consists of all gastric sleeve or bypass patients. I am the only bander. While their weight loss is fast and furious, I refuse to let that deter me. Even the nurse who leads the group does not advocate the band. I talked with my doc about it, and his feeling is that slow and steady will win the race. 2-3 years out, my weight loss will be comparable to others who have had other procedures. We have to look at the goal and walk toward it, never giving up!

wrong food will always call us and if we answer to often we will be right back to where we . Stick to your maybe plan on one day and one food you would like to treat yourself to. Track it and go to the chat room for some online right now help to stsy focused.

I'm still learning but a couple of things that have helped me is (1) pre-plan meals and Snacks each day, (2) track what I eat, and (3) use small utensils. By pre-planning I know what I'm going to eat so I'm not fixated on trying to decide each meal. Tracking makes me second guess what I eat because it makes me aware of the calories/fat/carbs/protein in foods. Therefore, I'm more likely to choose an orange over junk food. Using smaller utensils (the ones from the baby section) ensures I'm taking smaller bites. Hopefully this makes sense and is helpful. :)

Do you mean PB'ing or vomiting at every meal? Is this where your lower stomach is ejecting food you've eaten or are you just regurgitating stuck food?

If you are vomiting often you really should have already called your doctor. It is not normal whatever you eat.

Vomiting and weight loss. I was banded in May of last year and have lost 1 1/2 stone. Not much for the amount of time I have been banded. I gained half a stone over Christmas by eating wrong foods. I don't vomit only have twice when some meat got stuck ( my fault didn't chew well enough ) I have this last week started to get heartburn should I see a doctor?

Really? It isn't too bad at the moment .. I wonder if I eat too much? My portion size is greatly reduced. I don't feel sick or anything .. I will go though if you think I should

      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.
