Hello,
New here, I have been banded ! love it, but the only time I seem to lose weight is when I get banded, for about 2-3 weeks of  weight loos, then it stops .  they said that i am tight. I feel tight, but it just stops. I do 1mile walks every other day, And eat protein low cal diet.

I have to ask what you mean by tight, do you mean full?  What I think is happening is you have reached a plateau, where you body just stops because of metabolism, but it should kick start after a short period of time. You aren't going to lose massive amounts of weight immediately.  I was was told it was important to be on an high protein, low carb diet.  Proteins take longer to absorb, have some of the essential fatty acids that aren't found in any other food groups. I've been reading more labels these days, I don't trust it when a product says "low fat or low cal". Read all of the ingredients on boxes they sure can be deceptive. Make sure it's really important you get enough calcium. Whatever you do, make sure the foods you eat aren't over processed they have more sugar!

My thought would be that the port might be leaking.  I used to be tight for two weeks and then for the next two weeks I could eat anything and it was found that the port was leaking so now my port is filled with gel and not saline.  Talk to the doctor about a possible leaking port and what can be done - don't do surgery if you can help it as the gel will keep you tight until the next fill.
