What do u usually eat? I was banded Dec 27,11 and have only lost 20 pounds its so hard for me.

I had my surgery dec 27 11 from then and now i have lost only about 10 pounds.I have had 5 fills i think i am at 6.7 cc. Every month i would get a fill and i would feel nothing like i never had the band i told the doctor what a waste of time he said it will eventually work.So i had a fill on monday and i waited a couple of days to go to solids and bam i felt restriction with little food what a difference so i just want to say hang in there you will get there.Today i had tuna and i barely had 2 spoons and i was full for like 4 hours .It will come patience now to figure out what i can and canot eat Goodluck everyone!!!

My doctor only gives me 1cc each time I go I have gone to 4 fills and still hungry haven't lost any weight I'm thinking to go to Tijuana and look for a fill doctor has anyone done this or know how much they charge for a fill in Mexico if I don't it will take me forever.

Thank you all for the info I have an appt with my doctor and if he gives me a small fill or no fill then I will go to Tijuana will they take you even if they didn't do the surgery?

So I had my third fill about a week ago and I just noticed I have purple and blue where they put my fill, is this normal?

Thanks everyone for the advice I was scared. That's why I like asking because we all give each other help.

So I had a fill yesterday and did liquids all day yesterday today had tuna just a spoonful and it wasn't good should I wait to eat food or is this normal.

Does anyone eat these or flour tortillas. Don't know what to eat.

So I noticed I gained weight so I decided to do a liquid diet for a week do in a week I lost 5 lbs but I ate yesterday a little bit of food and I weighted myself and I gained back the 5 lbs and tomorrow I see my doctor I'm thinking I should cancel because he will be upset.why does this happen?what do I do why am I not loosing the weight was this a waste of time?

We'll I went to the doctor and he said its OK just measure your food and gave me a small fill I wad worried for nothing now to eat well and see if it works.

I go to Dr.Simpson in Phoenix MT question is who goes to him and how are you doing I got the band in December 11 and haven't lost any Weigh maybe 7 lbs how many fills have you had and if you have gained weight does he get upset and don't give u a fill what am I doing wrong what do I eat lately I'm just doing liquids and I ate a meal yesterday and gained 5 lbs:(

Thanks for the info I guess I will go to the doctor today and see what he says oh well I'm not perfect .

I was banded Dec 27 2012 and have had only one fill doc didn't say how much he said a couple of ccs I really don't eat much mainly have drinks and when I eat a small meal I gain everything I lost and more my doc is kind of rough he gives you the look and says you know what u have to do

I had my first fill like 3 weeks ago and don't feel any different and I've gained 6 lbs I believe I have a 10 bag and doc gave me a couple ccs u don't know what I'm doing wrong .

I want to know if anyone is also taking Phentermine I'm looking into taking it to see if it helps my hunger I have had one fill and its not helping any advice on this.

Is anyone taking Phentermine with their lapband I'm considering taking them I have had one fill and am always hungry and if you are taking them where do you buy them.

Thanks everyone for the input I guess I will suck it up and save my money.

Today was my first fill in the doctors office I was scared but everything went OK he told me lay down got a needle and said it was a pinch it was true didn't hurt at all he put in 3ccs it felt weird going in then he said get up and drink this water. I did but I could only take sips slowly he said relax give it couple minutes then I felt fine.I felt like I wanted to burp while drinking water I went home and feel fine liquids for 24hours .

I guess everyone is different good luck to everyone.

Its been about 3 weeks since my surgery I want to know if its OK to have sugar free candy?

I started my solids already so two days ago I had a bite of bread I felt like I was dying chest pain wanted to throw up really horrible and yesterday I had a corn tortilla same thing is this always going to happen I only have 2ccs that I had put in the hospital.

Thanks for your suggestions
