I had the lap band on February 13, 2008. I started out at 316. I initially lost 46 pounds in the first 4 months. Ever since, I have had three fills and lost 5 more pounds and gained it back. I can't get off the 270 mark and it is so frustrating. I have to admit, I haven't been exercising as much as I used to and I started having a diet coke again once in awhile. Anyway, I started back exercising and journaling my food and haven't been drinking Diet Coke and it still isn't coming off. I am so angry and frustrated. I don't need a fill because, I can only eat about 1/2 cup of food and I get full really fast. I'm never hungry either. Has anyone else had problems like this? I need some help/tips.
