Having some problems ARRRGGG. I was banded Jan 11th and was doing fine losing weight, not hungry etc. Dr decided to do a fill on April 1st while it was still free. I ended up too tight and had some taken out on the 4th. Since then it's been terrible. I have been doing water aerobics 5 days a week since August. I added strength training 2 days a week on April 11th. Since my fill and unfill and adding the strength training I've only lost 5 pounds in the last 7 weeks. I think my clothes are getting looser but nothing is happening on the scale. I have been doing mostly low carb high protein. Not perfect had a small piece of birthday cake and a couple spoons of potato salad a little rice in the last couple of months. I can eat more than I did at first, probably a cup of food depending on what it is. It's not like I'm stuffing myself or doing a lot of high sugar or high calorie foods. I don't know what to do to start the weight loss again and I'm frustrated. I stopped my protein shake to cut calories and now I'm wondering if I should do the liquid diet to get things moving again. I was throwing up after the fill ,unfill thing and I wonder if my band slipped or something. I don't have any pain but not feeling much restriction either and I get hungry now. Any advice would be appreciated.
