I was banded on Jun 8th and am down 20-25 pounds. However, since my first fill, I haven't lost any weight and fill like I'm constantly hungry. I make myself stop at a certain amount of food but I don't see any loss. Can someone help?

I would suggest journaling your food. You may be surprised at what you are eating. Are you measuring your food intake? You should only be able to get in 1 cup off food or less. Are you still doing your Protein shakes? Are you drinking your fluids? How many calories are you taking in? You might want to try foods with higher protein levels like fish and chicken.

20-25 lbs is great actually. Remember it's not going to happen over night. Try not to weigh yourself as much either. It tends to make us discouraged. If you must weigh yourself before your doctors visits just limit it to once a week. You may want to increase your exercise also. My weightloss has slowed down also so don't feel bad.
