    2 things I would in the morning. Call your doctor and dietitian. They know everything more than anyone else. Maybe get out your stage 3 or 4 diet and restart from there. Are you exercising at all?

    We need a bit more information. When was your last fill? Are you regularly checking in with your doctor? Are you exercising, or logging your food? I'm sorry to hear you're struggling, but 9lbs is no

    You should fill in your profile so we know more about you? It's difficult to advise with so little to work with? But I agree with Dylan, a nutritionist is worth the dough for anyone at any stage. tm

I hope I helped some. Good luck with this.

I'm sorry to hear you're struggling, but 9lbs is nothing you can't bounce back from. You can do it!

Nikki I just got a fill on Friday and also saw my nutritionist and was recommend to go back to my pre-op diet. Replace to meals with protein shakes and third meal would be what u regular eat for dinner. For three days out of the week. And step up cardio. Hope that helps!

My last full was almost a year ago, I was at 6cc then and that's all I can have..I got out my books and I am going to try and do the jump start again.. I think I have up, my son joined the AF back in Oct and I was so depressed about him leaving that I ate and ate'

Here are really nice and most informative post. I am totally agree with you. According to me you should take care of your diet. Make sure that you take low fat and carbs in your diet. Also try to drink green tea. It's boost your metabolism and burn your extra body fat.

Nikki I understand what your going through. I was banded 12/09 and I have lost no weight since December 2012. I just stopped paying attention to what I was eating. Ever since I started participating on this forum and found friends on My Fitness Pal from this forum I'm doing much better. I'm addicted to MFP and can view what everyone else is eating and I get great ideas. Also, everyone else can see what I eat too! You can get back on track and may even need a bit of a fill to get you going. Best of luck and add on MFP "bfigie"!
