Dave, what an inspiration. Good luck with the rest of your weight!

Keep in mind that if you are losing 1-2 lbs per week and eating a cup that is fine. If not, then you need a fill. Most likely at 6 weeks. Try and stick to 1/2 cup of food to 1 cup of food and 800-1k calories a day. Protein first, 60 grams a day.

I agree with Shortgal. Try and get your 60 oz of protein in daily. Even if you sip protein drinks alll day long. Welcome to bandland. Isn't it great not being hungry!

Kristin, the same exactl thing happend to me but worse over Christmas. I couldn't keep solids down on Christmas Eve. I even PB'd water! It can be caused by the stress of the Holidays. Yes, your band is fickle and yes, it can be good days or bad days. In your case, that was a bad day just like me. Today I stayed on liquids and mushies again. Pretty much the same thing yesterday. 2 weeks ago I was able to eat 4-6 oz of protein at one sitting lunchtime chicken salad. I can only take 2-3 bites now and be full. It is the life of the band unfortunately. Good luck trying to sort this out! I can bet you that in a matter of days you may lose your restriction again. Keep us posted. Julie

SequoaiHealth, my doctor has performed thousands, not hundreds of lapband surgeries. I have lost 65% of my body fat the first year. Statistically that is quite common. I am a slow loser. I lost 40 lbs preop and 65 post op the first year. I love this forum for support. Not everyone hits their goals the first year. My surgeon is very pleased with my results.

Yes, it is time for a fill. I am jealous however. I really missed pigging out! Good luck.

I completely understand. My fills are $200 each and last year I spent about $1600 on fills. Good luck.

General and lapascope.

Follow your doctor's orders. Its really important.

Do you just snack to snack? Are you hungry when you snack? Are you getting in enough protein? How much food do you consume at once?

Donna, average weight loss is 1-2 lbs per week. If you lost 11 lbs in a week most likely your body is balancing out. Good luck.

I would talk to your doctor about pain management. He can help you.

Congrats! What a wonderful way to start the New Year! I've been banded 18 months. I have lost 100 lbs. 65 post op and 40 beforehand. I am considered a slow loser but I'm still happy. Good luck to you.

Happy Birthday! What a way to start your 20th year. Congrats! Good luck.
