My name is Elandis and I am a 31 yr old single mom of a 3 year old and 19 month old. I was banded 3/29 at a weight of 334 and when i went for my 1 week visit i was at 319. I am currently on the soft stage but Ive gained 3 pounds back. I really dont know why. Im wondering is it because my primary took me off of the HCTZ or what? I go to the gym every single day and work out 30-45 minutes. I eat yougurt for breakfast, v8 about 9, then for lunch i eat mash potatoes or a soup, then drink a crystal lite about 1:30. Then once I get home I will eat a small bowl of chicken salad and maybe 2 or 3 crackers OR a small salad a pice of lean ham or chicken. Then my snack is a sugar free popsicle. What am I doing wrong. I want to loose this weight so bad but it seems that Im going backwards. Has anybody else had a problem?
