Welcome E Harper, to the bandsters and lapbandtalk.

I agree, that your weightloss does appear to be a bit slower, with the band being designed for us to lose between 1-2 pounds per week. However, you have not provided near enough information for us to be able to help you.

• When was your last fill?
  
• How big is your band?
  
• How much fill do you currently have?
  
• What types of meal plans are you following?
  
• Do you monitor your calories/carbs?
  
• Are you exercising?
  
• Are you making healthier food choices or are you still eating junk?
  
• Are you following the bandster rules?

If you can answer some of these questions for us, and maybe include an example of what your normally eat in a day, I am sure many of us will be willing to try and help you. Have you discussed your slow loss with your doctor or nutritionist?

Not sure of what kind of help I can offer...I do have some questions... maybe if you can answer those, we can go from there!

1. Do you eat a healthy diet?

2. Do you have other health issues?

3. Do you do any exercise?

4. What does your Dr. say about the lack of weight loss?

5. You say you went 8 weeks between fills, but do you have ANY restriction yet at all?

6. If you have no restriction, is it possible to get another fill, or is it not enough elapsed time between them yet?

and

7. What type of pre-op diet did you do that obviously DID work for you?

Maybe if you answer these, some of us can throw ideas around and see if we can help you!

I hope so!
