Oh man I so don't wanna share what I eat on a normal basis, but then again, I know I need to do something! I have stopped on the weight loss, but have also stopped on the exercising. Meanwhile, I am so not happy with where I am at, I started at 238 when I was banded on Dec 11, 2009 and I am at 176 today. I have had 3 fills, I am at 9cc's of a 10cc band apparently. I have MASSIVE reflux and heartburn, almost daily. I cannot eat ANY pastas, breads, potatoes, veggies, cereals, oatmeal, grits, meats, tortillas, anything acidic, chips, yogurt, cheese.....I am trying to think of the never ending list of CAN'T eats. I CAN tolerate SOME soups, water (which I do not drink nearly enough of), ice cream, fish SOMETIMES, sunflower seeds (SOMETIMES), iced coffee with cream and sugar (SOMETIMES).........So, for lack of wanting to try anything else that will stay down, I eat ice cream basically everyday, at least twice a day. I mix it with half and half for more calories. Between that and the not using my treadmill or Biggest Losers game on Wii, I am SURE that is why I have come to a halt on weight loss. What do ya'll think?

I think you, seriously, need an unfill. You should tell your Dr./Nut. this. You are eating high calorie stuff because you can get it down. You need protien and veggies. I think an unfill and being to eat real food would get you moving again. Good Luck!

Please call your doctor. You have all the symptoms of a too tight band! It is not normal to have reflux, heartburn, or to be unable to eat a healthy diet. I hope you get this problem resolved. Good luck!
