Up until the change to soft food/regular diet (2 weeks ago), I lost a good 10-15lbs, CURRENTLY I'VE GAINED 5 BACK! :-(. I have ZERO restriction, hungry a lot of the time, and can pretty much eat what I want (but I don't). I continue to walk on the treadmill 3x per week, but still gaining weight!

My 1st fill isn't until June 29th, I called to bump up the appointment, unfortunately my doc has no openings!

Has this happened to anyone else? Any advice? Should I go back on liquid diet? Gaining weight is a confidence killer!

Oh, and what Vitamins (if any) are you taking? Recommendations?

I was banded on 5/18. I lost 8 lbs and wasn't hungry until I changed to soft foods now I feel like I'm starving all the time. I go for my first fill on 6/19. I sure hope it helps with my appetite. I'm also struggling with wanting to eat what my family is eating. Certainly when we go out.

I was banded on 5/25/12. I am having the same problem! I am starving all the time! I have lost a total if 20 pds, but my weight is staying the same! I'm concerned bc I feel like I went though all of this for nothing! First fill 7/11! :-(

Thank you ladies!!!!! I know it's light at the end of the tunnel, and ppl do compliment on how "good" I look, HOWEVER no one knows me like ME and ummmmm I NEED A FILL!!!!!!!

I should not want and/or think about STUFFED CRUST pizza, but I am and it's taking every ounce of strength in me to just keep with my regimen. :-/

Do any of you ladies take Vitamins?

IT'S DEFINITELY NOT FOR NOTHING! I CAN RELATE TO THE WAY YOU ARE FEELING... I DON'T BELIEVE I EXPECTED TO HAVE TO WAIT SO LONG FOR RESTRICTION, THERE'S ENOUGH MENTAL CONFLICT GOIN ON WITHOUT THE HUNGER PAINS! WE CAN DO IT!!!

WHAT STAGE ARE YOU ON? Clear liquids, FULL LIQUIDS? I'M THINKING ABOUT GOING BACK TO A FULL liquid diet, JUST TO MAINTAIN.

If are supposed to be on solids continue to eat solids. If you haven't purchased a food scale do so. If you are not measuring you are guaranteed to be eating too much. I am at restrictions yet still measure all my protein. Eat 3 ounces of solid protein and then low fat/calorie vegetables until full. Your first fill may not give you restriction, in fact it took me 6 months to get restriction. Again, the band is meant to work with solid food. You cannot survive for ever on liquids. As anyone who lost weight on slimfast will tell you when you go back to solids you will gain weight.

Same thing here I was banded 5 /4 got 2 ccs in at surgery and it was great..now I have absolutely no restriction I feel like I could eat anything without any issue ( I don't ) my weight has gone down and up a few pounds the past few weeks it's back down but I know it's time for a fill my appointment is 6/21 and I can't wait!!!
