I was banded in August and I'm down a total of 20 pounds.

I had my second and last fill on Oct 27. I've not lost but maybe 2 pounds since then.

I am hungery. I don't tolerate any form of bread well at all, I feel as if I'm choking to death.

Am I too tight already. . . or do I need a fill. I've got a total of 3.5cc:confused:

I was banded on Aug 11th and I've had three fills. 6.75ccs in a 11cc Realize band. I am going in for my 4th fill next week. I am close to my sweet spot.

Bread is okay with me if I take tiny bites about the size of a dime. Toast is easier.

Is bread the only food you can't tolerate? What about your proteins? Water? Not being able to eat bread

doesn't really tell me anything since some people at restriction can eat it no problems, while others can't eat any even when thier band is empty of saline.

Can you go three to four hours between feeling hungry?

Carrie,

How do you do with water and other foods? Is bread the only problem? I had a couple crackers with peanut butter on them for a snack last night and the first one kind of just sat there...and I don't have restriction yet. So perhaps you still 'aren't there' yet and just having difficulty with certain foods. As I understand it, difficulty with bread is fairly common.

Have you sat down with a nutritionist to discuss the foods you should be eating? Perhaps all you need is a little dietary tweaking and you will start losing. If you don't eat enough calories your body will hold onto fat.
