I was banded in August and today I'm up to 9 1/2 cc . I'm beginning to think this is not going to work. I have not lost weight and I'm hungry

I'm very concerned that you were only eating once a day. My doctor wants me to be eating 3 meals a day no snacks. I did not however get restriction until10.6 cc.

I think I may have reached restriction ! Suddenly on Saturday evening my appetite dissipated , I am struggling to eat at the moment and have had hardly anything since then. I'm watching my fluid intake and added in vitamins. I am at 9.5 of a 14cc band so hopefully this is it. For the ones of you who took the time to support me with your helpful advice thank you, I will be staying on here and contributing and reading.

Did you ever get checked for a leak? Or possibly the band slipped? I'm not banded yet, but everyone's right.. something isn't matching up. Definitely eat more though because having just one meal a day isn't healthy and does not give you enough nutrients for your body to properly function or the keep your metabolism going either whether you have the LapBand or not. Go to your doctor and be adamant about finding out exactly what is going on and why it is not working for you.

No leak I've been losing just a pound a week until a month ago when my band went to 10.5 and in three weeks I lost nine pounds. I'm now up to 11cc and can at last feel restriction and the hunger has abated. It now fees as if I can actually do something
