Hi TRT,
I have hard a very hard time with my lap band too. I'm at surgery no 3 with two previous slippages and are due my third adjustment and I am now almost at my pre surgery rate of 3 years ago. Life is not always a bed of roses with a band and it is far from the quick fix option.
This time round im being overly careful. It's more about the texture and quantities so keep trying.
Good luck
