I am in the same boat.I Think Its a good idea to write everything down.Will start tom.I had my surgery on 5th Feb 2014 and have around 6cc in my band but have only lost9 pounds and in between gained weight too (((((( very frustrating

Ok ,I swear I am eating well ,doing yoga with a trainer ,going for walk but all I have lost since I got my band on 5th Feb 2014 is 9 pounds.I have a 10 cc band and it has 6cc in it since april 23rd. I have started feeling hungry again and am so frustrated that I am going to be one of the failures. I was okay for two weeks after the last fill but since 1 week now,I have been feeling hungry. Do you think I'll ever be in the green zone ??????

Hang in there ,this time will pass too ,I have lost and gained more weight since feb 2014 wen I had my surgery and this forum gave me strength and hope to carry on ))) We are all with you .God Bless !

Good Luck ,praying for you.

Thank you for your input and replies.I feel stronger now and taking each day as it comes .Up till now the 2nd fill which I had on the 23rd April ,seems to be working till now. Will keep you posted.

H All , I had my lap band on 5th Feb 2014 and then the first fill on 5th March. Everything was going fine till 2 weeks after the fill when I started feeling hungry and less restriction. I called my doctor and He wouldn't give me a fill or see me till 5th April .Then He was gone for a conference ,when He got back I had to travel and now I am due for my 2nd fill on Wednesday 23rd April. I have gained the weight I had lost.I have no restriction and can eat everything. All advice will be greatly appreciated as I feel horribly low:(((((( God Bless ! Aasma

Hi Melissa , Hang in there ,I know exactly how you feel ,I have gained more than I lost but for the last 2 days since my 2nd fill ,I hav,nt been hungry.Keeping my fingers crossed that It will last a while )))

Thank you all for your support.It's much appreciated.I got my second fill today and the Doctor told me to be patient and also when we discussed my food ,I was taking in a lot of liquid calories.I am planning to write down what I eat or better still ,like my doctor said to eat 3 meals focusing on Proteins. All help and ideas are welcome ))))) Hugs to all ,Stay Blessed !

Well Done ,I am two months down too but have actually gained the weight back as I feel no restriction and am hungry all the time. Your story gave me hope. Thank you and God Bless !

Thank you All ,I feel so much better )))) Will keep you posted . Bless you !

Hi All , I had lap band surgery on 3rd Feb and had my first fill on 5th March 2014 ,I have lost 4 Kg since surgery and I want to start exercising but am scared ,my doctor said I should wait another 2 weeks.I really want to start as I feel very inactive and useless.I feel fine and have had no issues apart from the usual aches and pains. All advice would be welcome.Can I use a stretch band ,running ,stair climbing etc God Bless ! Aasma
