You said you are eating like you did before surgery. That is the problem. You must change your eating habits for a lifetime, including smaller portions (no more than 1/2-1 cup total per meal) and make healthy food choices.

It's also possible (likely) you don't have good restriction yet. Have you had fills?

Btw, 37 pounds is a great loss. That's over 3 pounds a week. I'm not sure what you expected but that is a lot.

1. You should probably call your Dr and schedule an appointment to see about a fill.

2. Have you seen a nutritionist?

3. The band will not stop you from eating crap.

4. If you want to lose weight until you hit the green zone, you need to diet.

Last, you've lost 37 pounds in two months! That is great. average is 1-2lb per week.

If it makes you feel better my surgery was 4/20 and I'm at 21lb. I'm working hard but have no restriction. I'm not defeated as I know it will get there. I look forward to my next fill in a week and hope it helps a little. Sounds like average on this board is 3-4 fills to feel restriction. It's a journey not a race I like to think of it.

Are you serious? Is this a joke? 2 months and 37 lbs? What were you expecting? Sorry if this isn't one of the supportive type responses but there are hundreds of bandsters who would switch places with you.

I was also banded April 20th, and I've lost 10 pounds since surgery, and I'm thrilled. (For people confused by the ticker below, I lost a decent amount in the months before surgery).

I think you need to do some more research about the mechanisms that make the band work, and how you should eat to maximize the effect.

I'm sorry but I can't understand this at all.

Is English not your native language? If not, maybe type in your native language and we can translate it with Google?

My native lenguage is Spanish n Portuguese tha why I try my best to explain u guys.. Sorry for tha

Okay now I understand. Hopefully we can work it out.

You need to work on the emotional eating, it won't go away. I also have this, and when I get overstressed or emotional, I try to occupy myself with other things so I don't eat.

If you need to, look into seeing a counselor or psychologist who can help you figure out why you are overeating. Also, if you are going to eat, find something healthy that tastes good (fruit, popcorn, etc).
