hi everyone,

i was banded on 25th january 2011 at first i loss a couple of pounds but now my weight has stayed the same. its so frustrating i have about 7mls in my band now. going to see the dr on tuesday to talk about it and i think there are two options 1= take all the Fluid out of the band and relax it for 6weeks then start again or 2= to carry on and hope for the best. has anyone been in this situation? advise on this much appreciated .

thx in advance.

I'm not understanding why you'd have the Fluid removed from the band-- wouldn't that make your problem even worse?

What are you eating in a typical day?

average day Breakfast = 1 slice of toast + yogurt

lunch = jacket potato with Beans and a little cheese

dinner = cottage pie

the what to take the Fluid out the relax the stomach, then try again.

Doesn't sound like you're getting in much Protein. Did your doctor tell you to shoot for a certain number of grams of protein per day, or a certain amount of carbs?

I really don't see how unfilling and re-filling your band will make any difference- if anything I'd think it'd make you gain instead of lose.

I agree. Sounds like your diet is heavier in carbs. Even before lapband I had to eat less than 25 carbs a day to lose any weight.
