I know what you mean. I was banded in may 2008 and have lost 25lbs. I have 3.2cc in my band. I really don't eat much and most of the foods I need to eat I can't tolerate. Some day I can eat chicken others it comes right back up. I do stay hungry, and I drink alot of protein water that does help some. The only thing that I don't do is exercise. I have a spinal fusion which limits me in exercise. I could walk, but hate to walk alone. I have alot of excuses but I am very disappointed in my band. When I read the forum it only makes me more discouraged because most of the time you only read about what great weight loss they have. I want to read more about people struggling and how they are dealing with their journey.

I have been banded for a year and a half I have had 4 fills. I lost 23 pounds and have gained everything back. I am so jelous everytime I come on this forum and you are all do so wonderful. I have never even felt the band work I can eat anything any time. I thought it was suppose to help me but so far it has just hurt my pocket. I am not sure if I want to keep putting out money when nothing is happening. I am ready to give up

I had my lap band done may 2008 and have only lost 25 lbs. I am very disgusted because I have not lost more. I have 2.6cc. in my band and can not eat a lot at one time, but I do not keep that full feeling very long. In fact, there are many foods I can't eat and I don't understand why I am not losing faster.

Sounds like it's time to go back to basics. Are you eating well and exercising?
