I was banded on 8/27/10 and I have lost a total of 38 lbs. I have been stuck between the last 3 to 5 lbs for months. I have had fills which are either too loose or too tight. What should I be looking for? What does the "sweet spot" feel like? Has anyone else experienced this? I am so frustrated! After dieting all my life, I feel like I am failing again! Anyone have any suggestions? Scheduled for another fill in 2 weeks.

Startng weight 203 - today 193. Feeling a little frustrated. My surgery was an overall good experience Dr's and Nurses were great. Had my first post-op check 11 days after surgery on 9/7/10. Everything looked good and I had already lost 14 lbs. Dr. stated that a could go to mashed foods (i.e., mashed potatoes, tuna, egg beaters, etc. I have followed his orders precisely. It is now 9/14/10 and I back to 193. Confused and really frustrated. I see my Dr. 9/21/10 for my first fill. Anyone else experience this? Thinking of going back to liquids only until my feel! Would love some feedback !
