I was banded on 4/27. I have lost 33 lbs but I have been stuck for the last 3-4 weeks. I had my 2nd fill which put me at 3.5cc. At first I could tell a difference buy now I feel like I'm hungrier than before. I haven't lost anything since my fill at the beginning of this month. I do eat some food I prob shouldn't like wheat thins, or a few fries but not enough to stall me I wouldn't think. Hell I can't eat that much!!!! Im trying to take it slow with my fills bc I live 2 hours away from my dr so I don't want to have to drive back for an unfill but I am starting to get discouraged. I am 3 months post op and this for sure can't be all the weight I'm gonna lose.

How much food are you actually eating? My doctor says 3 oz solid potein plus low fat/cals/carbs veggies. How long can you go after eating before feeling hungry? Is it less than 4.5-5 hrs? If it is you need more fill. It can take up to 2 weeks for a fill to take affect. Before true restriction you get some restriction with a fill but it can go away a couple days after the fill.

Food choices this is a big one. Sorry but the wheat thins and fries have to go. There are about 120 cals in about 10 wheat thins. Trust me that's not a lot of crackers. People normally underestimate the amounts they are eating.

As mentioned earlier your exercise habits are another important aspect. My doctor says at least 30 minutes a day 7 days a week.

I am at restriction, exercise 1.5-2.5 hrs 7 days a week, eat less than 1200 and lose less than 1 lb a week.
