intospring 0 Posted March 14, 2008 I was banded almost two years ago and am back where I started. The first few months following surgery I lost 30 pounds then it stalled. Six months later, the weight began to creep back up. I am pretty much at the weight I started with. Not more, but not less. I am active, and am watching what I eat. I know I am not perfect with the eating thing, but I don't eat nearly what I used to eat. I am really discouraged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suzzzie. 3 Posted March 14, 2008 Have you gotten a fill lately?!?! Sounds to me like a visit to your doc is in order!! THe band will not work without the proper fill amount and restriction! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MerryHearted 20 Posted March 14, 2008 Let's talk fills: when was your last fill? What's your restriction like - does bread go down? french fries? Which of the following are you having the most trouble with, do you think? 1) Making good food choices (lean Protein & produce, avoiding junk food) 2) Drinking enough fluids 3) Exercising 30 min / day 4) Not drinking with meals or for at least an hour afterwards 5) Eating between meals / snacking 6) Avoiding soft foods that slide through and liquid calories 7) Eating small quantities I know at my last fill it was "all of the above!" and my doc gave me the fill and then recommended that I start on The Beck Diet Solution while recommitting to the bandster eating guidelines. So far so good -- my weight is dropping nicely over the last two weeks! Yes, you can. Let us help you get restarted. The band is there, waiting. And if I can get going again, so can you! :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
