You might need another fill--when do you see your doctor again? The restriction from my first fill wore off in like 3 days and I was starving all the time.

Also, are you journaling? If you don't track what's going in your body, you won't be able to know what's causing the scale to go up. Try journaling for one week and see how it goes.

I didn't journal for the first 2 weeks after my first fill. I lost 1.4 lbs. In the one week since my 2nd fill (with journaling), I'm down 3 lbs. Journaling is key for me.

Take an honest look at what you're doing and be proactive about getting filled to your green zone!

Your scaring me, haaven't had the band yet, but it's coming soon!

Tracking everything you put in your mouth helps more than one can imagine. If you are honest while doing it (and seriously, you are doing it for yourself so why not be) you will see patterns and trends. I was amazed to realize that while I was eating healthier foods, it wasn't helping because I didn't have the portions under control.

Also try weighing out your portions. I've never been one for weighing my food, but did so last night. I was surprised to see what constituted a portion of extra sharp cheese. To see the reality of it, and to compare that with what I would normally take as 'my' portion was a huge eye opener.

Sometimes, even when we make better choices, we over do it with the size of the portion. Tracking will help make you more aware of this potential problem.

Don't give up hope and best of luck.
