Are you logging your food? Following all of the rules? Eating right? Measuring your intake? I wasn't. I honestly thought I was taking in less than I was until I started measuring and oops, I was eating more than I thought. Go back to the basics and measure, log, follow the drinking rules, go to support groups and the weight loss will start back up. Exercise as well.

AS they say, it is not the band that does the work, but what you do to work with the band. You probably need a fill, because you are able to eat too much without pain I am assuming. As the other responder said, keeping a journal will help you see how much you are really eating, follow the drinking rule. My doctor says wait two hours after eating which is really hard. The majority of people loose only about 40% of what they had hoped to loose with the band. Start attending a support group and listen to what works for those people.
