Did you lose weight? Perhaps you lost and your band is looser because you also lost weight inside where the band is located. That would give you much less restriction. If you're not in pain or having problems, I wouldn't think you're having a band problem. Believe it or not, weather even affects my band, is there a certain weather front in the area? Maybe you just need a fill. Give your doctor's office a call and see what they think. I'm sure they will have some idea as to what has happened. In the meantime, just follow the rules and, as hard as it may be, try not to focus upon the hunger. I wish you the best of luck!

Congrats on your weight loss!

You say you "can and do eat everything". Keep in mind the band isn't supposed to physically stop you from eating nor is it supposed to force you to decrease your portions. It will always be your job to stick to band sized portions and make smart food choices.

Have a look at this link, I think it will help: http://drsimpson.net/fills/Lap-band-eating/lap-band-not-restriction/lap-band-and-restriction.html

Best wishes

      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.
