I've had my band done in December 2008 and have still struggled with losing. I have lost, but gained, then lost, then gained and after each fill, I've started to lose, then a few days later, it goes back up again. Not understanding what is going on. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Not wanting to jump to conclusions but you dont give a lot of info.

What do you eat? 3 small meals a day no Snacks? or Five even smaller meals? Do you do a good hour's exercise most days? Do you avoid sugar, white flour and bad fats, keep away from alcohol for the most part? Are you sabotaging yourself with hidden calories - sweet, syrupy coffees, soft slider foods?

I eat 3 small meals a day, but I do have 2 snacks in between because I get hungry in between, but the snacks are yogurt or fruit. I do the excersize each day, but I only do 30 -45 minutes. I'm trying to get to an hour. Almost there. On weekends when I'm not working is the hardest. I'm home and my family sometimes goes out and wants me to join them and when I do, I have trouble saying no to a slider, mostly drinks, like wine or pina colada.

I probably should not go out. That may be my problem. I avoid white flour and all processed foods. I use Stevia for a sweetener instead of sugar. I don't eat much veges, mostly all the berries, blueberries, strawberries, black berries, raspberries and of course watermelon. I love fruit. The veges make me too gassy. Do you see anything else I could change?
