I had my band in Jan 2011. I lost 40lbs., but I had trouble losing too,.I had hard time getting enough liquids, since I needed to eat more smaller meals, it seemed like I was eating all the time. Add the fact that Tuna, salmon, tilapia, scallops, steak, hamb., are difficult to get down. I have flat teeth too which adds insult to injury!! So... chewing food is challenging. My teeth are flat because I grind my teeth prob since childhood, non-compliant about the grind plate. Anyway, now I had my 2nd fill last friday, i have been throwing up at every meal just about and I must have lost some weight now!!! But, I am soooooooooo... weak, I can hardly move, my son is coming over to help me do housework, and back to work tomorrow. I have not been able to take my medications due to upset stomach. So this is another concern. OH back to the food thing, well I started eating junk foods which I stayed away from and did not desire for the most part. Pringles chips(nonfat) go down fine, of course ice cream, smoothies, the salty soups like pea or tomatoe both high in sodium and sugar are great! Yuk!! not much nutrition there!! Hopefully today my Dr will take enough saline out of the band so I can eat salad again! I miss my Romaine!! I am so quesy from throwing up last night after I tried to eat mcdonalds chicken nuggets, it really came close since I cannot eat any other chicken unless it is ground chicken mixed with avacado and refried beans and lots of salsa and cheese, but that was before my second fill. PS When I was swimming , pre-second fill , I was feeling great and was toning up the skin a bit too! Good Luck!
