I was banded in 2009 and I can hardly eat but I can't loose any more weight.. I work out about five days a week. My band is pretty tight. I hicupp soon as I take a bite...

If your band is too tight, you won't lose weight because you can't eat healthy foods. When is the last time you saw your doctor?

How many calories do you eat a day?

It's probably been a month they took some out.. Sometimes I can eat and sometimes I can't. Tonight I had probably a table spoon of salad and 4 shrimp. At first it would not go down, so I waited and went back to eat and then it went down..

It sounds like you're still too tight.

Have a look at this article, it will give you a lot of insight: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/page/index.html/_/support/post-op-support/tighter-isnt-always-better-r118

Ditto on the calories.

You might want to check in with a nutritionist. They can offer wonderful advice.

Maybe but 3 years and 80 pounds maybe I can't lose anymore. I think it's a mine thing.. I guess I also eat to live and not live to eat.. I just can't eat the right stuff I have no taste for real food.. I don't get hungry ever often , so if I 'm not hungry I want eat..

Well you still haven't responded how many calories you eat in a day so I assume you don't track them. The only way you can be positive you're not eating too much or too little is track your calories. Otherwise, you're just guessing. Some people do great without tracking calories but the fact you're not losing is a sign you're not one of those people. If I were you, I would start tracking your calories.

You say you can't the right stuff because you have no taste for it. What do you eat then? Really, whether or not you lose the weight is a choice. You can choose to eat healthy and do what's necessary to lose or you can keep doing what you're doing and stay where you are. But, the truth is you very much can lose weight, you just haven't made the decision to make the life changes to make that possible.

Best wishes.
