How much did you start out needing to lose? The lighter you are some times the slower it comes off. Also are you getting in all your vitamins, protein and fluids? The better you do with that the faster it comes off also. Lastly... weight loss is known to be a lot slower with the band so you could actually be doing very well considering you were banded and didn't have the RNY. I would most defiantly check with your surgeon and see what he has to say. Best of luck to you!! *hugs* Felicia

I had one week where I didn't loose much, but I increased my protein by drinking ISOPURE protein shake which gives me 50 grams of protein in one serving that has really kept me loosing at a rate of 3-5lbs per week. You might give it a try.
