Karina,

Either your band is slipped or it is too tight and you need a VG (which is a larger band)

Do you have ANY restriction without a fill? Are you able to eat okay without a fill? What types of foods are you eating while not filled? Do you log your intake in a program such as www.fitday.com ? This program helps you to track your Protein, carbs, fat etc. You can also log exercise here.

I know how frustrating this can be. I hope you see your doctor and get some resolution! Good luck!

Hi Karina, in order to help you a little more, we need to have more information.

two years without a loss has to be hard to face. We need to know how to best help you.

I also could be that you have an underlying medical condition that is preventing you from losing weight.

      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.
