I think you need to go in and have your pouch/band checked. There’s a chance you stretched it out – don’t panic if this is the case – they normally un-fill you – you go on a liquid diet for a while (one person I know did the 4 week one again). And you allow your pouch time to get back to its smaller size – you then go back in for a fill and start again.

Here’s a little bit of hard honest truth – you most likely are testing your band and eating too much – stop it. You do have to use will power and work it – it’s not supposed to do all the work. Don’t cheat it by eating slider food; eat protein, then veggies, fruit and last carbs.

Also get out and make sure you are getting enough exercise and drink plenty of water.

Good luck - you don't succeed because of the band - you succeed because you used it wisely.

lisa pretty much said it all... don't test your band. go easy on it and treat it well. Go get checked and good luck. Hope everything goes well.
