At this point nothing else can get down. Any suggestions wld be great from those tht are about my same cc amout or higher. Protein Shakes are gud but get old.....Hugs....

if you have too much restriction and nothing is going down, sounds like you may need a slight unfill. One can not live on Starbucks and fried chicken nuggets alone!

I agree that you may need a slight unfill as if you can't eat healthy foods you are too tight, but I do not believe that starbucks and chicken nuggets are the only things that will go down. If you can eat those then surely you could also have something like a Protein shake or yogurt which are far healthier.

Go and get some fill taken out and start making proper, healthy choices.

i have six cc in my band as well, for almost a month I was noticeably restricted due to period bloat, then after my ccyle resolved I'm now able to eat 3 meals a day without a problem. did you get a fill durring "that time" of the month? It can have an effect. My doctors office said that durring that time of the month some gals come in for slight unfils while other's focous more on liquids until things simmer down. Hope this helps.

Remember...Soup is a liquid it will just go through your band. Not supposed to have liquids with meals as it will flush food out of your lapband pouch. Most Soups are full of high calories too.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
