Hello-I just had my 3nd fill last week- I first had at 6.5 ccs and my weight loss tapered off so then I had aa fill of 9.5 for my 10cc band and found that I was unable to keep anything down- EVERYTHING was regurgiated up so I went and had it deflated to 9cc's and although I am not regurgitating everything up I am still find it difficult to eat alot of foods. I am so SICK of soups but I am having trouble finding foods that are okay. I know to stay away from breads and cheeses and pasta (learned the hard way!). Does anyone have suggestions of things I might be able to eat that wont come back up later? Oh and here is the kicker- although my eating has gone from not able to able to eat some I still am not really losing....what is going on with me??? BTW my surgery was in March and my first fill was May 3rd. Since May I have only lost about 15 lbs. Maybe my expectations are high- can anyone let me know how long until their weight loss really kicked off? :confused2:

Starrie, Hello... 15lbs since May is awsome!! Most dr.s recomend that you loose 1-3 lbs a week . You still might be to tight if you are still having trouble eating. Good luck to you.

From what I know, it seems quick to get to 9 cc's. Is your band 10cc? Sounds like you are still too tight. If it were me, I'd go and get another cc out. You may not be losing because you can't really eat the "band way" when you can only eat soup. Hope that helps.

Regards,

Alfie
