I need some advise from long-time bandsters

I am not sure what to do. My last fill was a little less than a year ago. My weight has remained stable for about 8 months but i am still about 40 pounds from my goal. This is my problem - i am having trouble eating healthy food since my last fill. I can't eat salads, most chicken (except most, processed chicken),yogurt, eggs, hardly anything for breakfast. I am thinking that i might be better off having a little un-fill which will enable me to eat the salads, veggies, healthy meats. I do worry that maybe I won't eat so healthy if the band is loosened but i don't think that is a big concern. Sometimes I go almost all day without any protein. This has been going on for awhile but i am starting to feel sluggish. Anyone have a situation similar to mine? What do you suggest?

Thanks in advance.

I would definitely get a slight unfill and start counting calories. Just make sure you stay from 1k-1200 a day. You should be fine. Also, bump up your exercise so you can start losing again. Good luck.

I would definitely go in for the unfill. You will have to be careful not to eat bad stuff, but that's going to be true no matter how lose/tight you are.

Well I got to tell you the truth, the food that consistantly goes down nice and easy is the junk food. Popcorn, pretzels never give me any problem and that is why i am not losing weight. I am eating crap instead of the healthy food. I have been thinking about this for a while but now i am feeling really sluggish which is new for me. I think i will call the doctor tomorrow
