I had that happen and i did liquid diet for a week and it jump started my weightloss again. Really stick to Portion Control dont be tempted by the fact you know that you can eat more food than you should!! Good luck!!

Don't feel bad, I was banded Jan 28th and I am in the same boat with you. I've lost 27 lbs and have been stuck there for months. I just don't get it !!!! :frown: I go for my 3rd fill wed, hopefully this will help as I can eat just about whatever I want right now. I need restriction !!!!!! :thumbup: When were you banded ? Good luck !

I stalled for nearly 4 months. My doctor told me to increase my Protein, but it didn't help. I started keeping track (calories, fat, Fiber & protein) of everything I ate and was shocked to find out I was only eating 700-800 calories a day. When I increased my calories, I started losing again.

jnic, you probably don't have much (if any) restriction yet and it's hard to keep losing under those circumstances. Your next fill should help but it may not take you to your sweet spot so keep the faith and keep working at this.

      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.
