luvinke 0 Posted June 9, 2007 hello i was banded on march 22-07 a so far have lost a total of 9lbs. I am getting to the point where im thinking this is not working for me . I have had 3 feels and still no restiction some one help please . Yes i am walkin also. Couldnt for a while had a bad knee but went to dr and got a shot and helped so i am back at it . need some help please I am curious are you getting in your Protein first, then your veggies, then your sides. Be sure to drink your Water. Check to make sure your foods are not high in sugar. Most importantly are you waiting a few minutes after you eat a portion of your meal to see if your brain tells your stomach that you are full? You may not know how to tell when you a satisfied, you may be confusing it with being stuffed. I would try a liquid diet for a few days then consult my surgeon if it doesn' get better. Best of luck. We are here for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
