well i found out my band slipped last week. i'm pretty bummed out. i was put on a very strict diet for 3 weeks. my nurse practioner told me not to get discouraged. she felt that if i adhered to this program really well my band will take care of itself. i have been throwing up off and on for months now but thought it was ok. usually if i ate too much too fast past the point of being full. i want to hide and eat now that my band is open. i can eat whatever i want but have to stay on liquids. im giving myself a serious talk here because i have eaten ice cream every day since i was told i had to be on liquids only. i have had a couple of small bites of solid foods tonight only. i am so ashamed. :blushing:i didn't read enough of the literature at the beginning and didn't really think it could really happen to me. now im reading everything i can about it. im suddenly feeling very possessive of my band. some really good things have happened. am learning how to tell when i eat out of hunger, or other reasons. have started to recognize signs of hunger, feelings of fullness etc. i have lost 56 pounds in 1 .5 years and kept it off. so all in all its good. ill keep you posted. and ill stay on liquids for the rest of the time frame, next week to mushies, then 3 small regular meals :cool:- irma

yep thats what happened to me as well. I gained back 13 pounds in 2 months but I wasn't at my correct fill level until about a month ago. I was banded end of 2/09. But now I've lost over 16 inches in my waist and lost about 27 pounds. so don't worry it'll happen for you as well. i have a 14 cc band. Good luck and keep hanging in there. Irma
