Hello... I had my Lap Band surgery on 8-16-10 and lost 20 lbs within the first 3 months and I feel great, however, I have not lost anymore weight. I have had 3 fills since September and have very little restriction. I can actually eat whatever I want, as long as I chew it well. I have been following the SB diet, only using splenda if I need sweetness. And I keep active. My Dr advised me not to drink Protein shakes anymore as he feels they are additional calories that I don't need.

I am going for another fill this week and this time I will ask how many cc's I have had so far.

Is anyone else struggling after the Lap Band surgery?? I am getting very depressed, especially after reading other posts from people stating how much they have lost in the first 6 months.

I would appreciate any suggestions/information that I could get.

Are you tracking what you eat? Just because you can eat anything doesn't mean you should. Start counting your calories, carbs, etc. Make sure you're getting enough protein and water in each day. Exercise and get your fill. Hopefully that'll restart your weight-loss.
