VEGGIES AND FRUIT ARE GREAT BUT I BET YOU ARE NOT GETTING ENOUGH PROTEIN.....here is what my doctors nutritionist has said..... if you don't get enough protien in each day you won't lose the weight.... I am 5'4" and there calculation for me is between 65-82 grams a day.... when you eat always eat the protein( up to 4 oz ) first and then add the other items. DO NOT drink any fluids during your meal.... this flushes whatever food you ate right through.... they are having us wait an hour before we can drink. If you cannot eat enough in a day to get the right amnt. of protein then you need to drink a protein shake to make up the deficit. It is very important to keep a food log so you can see what kinds of food/ protein you are eating. Don't give up its just taking your body more time to adjust to the change.

I haven't even been banded yet (Jan. 28th) but my doctors instructions after a fill are the same as finallyncontrol.... he said after a fill its the same as if you just had surgery where the stomach swells so we need to do the protein shakes for about 4-5 days and then ease back into eating. Maybe your stomach just isn't ready for a fill yet....I hope it all works out for you soon, its got to be frustrating...
