I have been so bad since my last fill. I am 5 months post op and have a hard time eating most foods. I have been eating a lot of chocolate since it goes down so well. Am I alone in this? I dont eat much other calories besides the chocolate. I have lost 40 pounds but feel like its so slow and I feel like a failure sometimes. I need some inspiration. Thanks!

If that is all you can eat then you need to go get an unfill. Seriously if you don't you are going to lose muscle and once that is gone you can never get it back.

40 lbs is great as long as it's fat lost and not muscle as Cheryl pointed out.

My only advice is to stop buying chocolate and you won't be tempted. Very few of us fill our pantry's with bad foods as most of us do have serious food addictions and it's best to avoid temptation.

You should definitely be able to eat most foods -- time to see your surgeon! Don't worry, you can just get a small unfill. They will work with you and this is good information for them. That's the whole point of the band -- adjustable. Best wishes -- you'll be back on track soon.
