Hi Jacqui: When I had the band done the financial committment was there. However the economy caused my company to lay off 125 people and I was 1 of those people even though I had 27 years tenure with the company. I am now on a fixed income due to it. what is a ack f restriction?

I need help. I am 5 years post-op and have only lost 20lbs from my original banded weight. I haven't had a fill in 2 years and can't afford a visit either as it's $125.00/ visit for me. I am also living in a different state from where I got banded. I would love to start losing more weight but need help knowing where to start with what foods/liquids. do i go back to a liquid diet for a week or so? I have never been given a nutritionist or dietician who specialized in lap-band or even knew anything re it. I have looked thru the questions and answers re post banding but none are about several years down the road. Can anyone help? Please do not suggest going to the dr as I just can't afford the cost of the visits. Thanks, Kevin
