Hang tough. This is where you get to show the commitment that you promised yourself. It will be worth it in the end.

I am a fill nurse and fill approximatly 20 patients a day at the surgeons office. We do our fills under flouroscopy each and every time. That gives us the ability to find the port without multiple tries and also do a barium swallow to adjust the fill as needed instead of "guessing" as to how much of a fill a patient needs. What size band do you have?
It sounds like you are too tight. When you are not able to eat you will not lose weight. Whatever you are able to keep down your body is holding onto because it thinks you are starving it so its going to hold on to all the weight you have.

I sooooo feel your pain!! Food is everywhere! It is truly a daily struggle! One day at a time..that is my motto! Good luck to you!!! We can do this!!! Cori

Okay I'm glad I'm not the only one who eats salads without lettuce! I get the strangest looks, but my excuse is "lettuce is just a filler" lol
