Bellah,
I was banded on August 8th and have lost 30 pounds. However, my doctor is keeping me very restricted and trying to pull the weight off rapidly. You need to speak with the doctor who does your fills and let him know how much you are able to eat. My guess is you need more restriction, but you need to ask the doctor about it. I "cannot" eat more than a half cup, and all I can eat is soft foods and my protein drink. I was disappointed and throwing up a lot until he explained to me why he is keeping me so tight. I am never hungry though. I eat soups, yogurt, oatmeal, baked potatoes, etc.
Hang in there and any time you are not sure about something, let the doctor or nurse know about it. You will make it. The band is awesome!
