This is a generality, but usually people who can't lose weight are eating lots of things that are not restricted by the band. I can eat no end of chocolate, ice cream, pudding, creamy soups, peanut butter, baked potatoes . . . I'm getting hungry just making the list! However, I can about 1/4 of a meat serving compared to presurgery; I can't eat bread and enjoy it, and many snacks have to be eaten slowly or else I will get sick.
The other problem area with "eating around the band" is snacking and grazing constantly. If you eat a little bit, then a little bit again, then again, and again and again . . . well, you get the picture.
If you follow the rules of eating a regular solid meal three times a day, with your protein first, then veggies, and finally starches (which I usually just leave out, except on special occasions) then you will find your food intake drastically reduced.
Finally, get your fills when you need them! If you don't get your band adjusted properly, it isn't going to work like it is supposed to.
