Hey my fellow bandsters. Well I am thoroughly frustrated and completly annoyed with this band process. as most of you may remeber i was banded on 2/4/09. i have since started eating regular foods. I have no restriction and i am so hungry..i have been getting hungrier by the day. i have been eating my jenny craig foods in order to help me keep track of the calories, and to eat little portions. at first it was good, but now a week later i am really hungry, and i want to eat more. i even went to mcdonalds yesterday and had a fish small fries and 2 apple pies and later a raspberry iced tea ate it all then felt horribly guilty, but it all went down, no problem...then the worst part of it all was i felt so guilty. but this is the first time that i ahve indulged like that, but i was so so hungry. Now with that bieng said and now off my chest. until that day i have been doing well. not consuming more that 1000 calories a day, and guess what to be rewarded for that i am gaining weight. I have gained a total of 6 pounds since i started eating food that i can tolerate. has this happened to anyone else? i have not been cleared yet to excercise. i want to so badly, i actually enjoy it. i know i need a fill i have no restriction. i am just so frustrated because shouldnt i be losing weight and not gaining no matter what if i am not consumning a lot calories. i am not drinking as much water as i should maybe 4 glasses a day. i dont know...can anyone offer me advice or insight??

hey i am in with the excericise report. although I dont love to excercise, it doesnt bother me to do it. i actually am a little displined and do the elliptical precor machine every morning for 35 minutes on the weight loss cycle. i was banded on 2/4 and have lost only 13 pounds since and seem to be gaining weight since i started eating although i have not exceeded 900 calories on any given day. it is frustrating. i have gained 3 pds since i satrted eating on wednesday the 24th. im not sure what the problem is. i was so hungry today i ate a piece of chicken too fast and as my old habits would have it i did not chew up my food and had my first throw up, it was painful whe the food got stuck. now i am scared that my band may slip. any advice???

Hi all, 1st angelia, when did u get banded? can i assume 2/13/09 is your date?:smile:...lol. I was banded on 2/4/09 and just started eating food. :thumbup:i was to start on mushies on 2/25/09 but now since i can tolerate regular food that is what i have been eating. i could use a fill too, but my dr. wanted me to stay on liquids for 6 weeks to maximize my weight loss,:w00t:but i couldnt take it i was just too hungry :cursing:and my nutrionist stated i could eat soft foods. i initally lost 15 pounds :thumbup:but since i can eat reglar food i have gained back one pound :w00t:and i am thoughrouly disgusted.:wink: not sure when my dr will give me a fill, :blushing:but i dont see him again until 3/12/09. i feel great.:tt2: i have no soreness around the port which is just above my belly button, and my surgeon did a great job and i have 2 small scars from the surgery one just below my breaST BONE AND ONE INSIDE MY BELLY BUTTON THAT YOU CAN NOT SEE, IT LOOKS LIKE I NEVER HAD SURGERY.:thumbup: I AM GOING TO STILL FOLLOW JENNY CRaig until i get my fills, so i can minimize any weight gain if any at all and watch what it is that i am eating. i really fell good with the 15 pound weight loss. i am going to attend the lap band conference here in queens ny in hopes to learn new things and meet new people. i am coping...but i am hungry...lol.

Ang, You r not alone, i have cheated and still cheating. i dont push it though just snmall cheat. i had about 10 mcdonald fries today. and 3 or 4 nachos it hasnt bothered me, but im ok. i chew chew and chew..i puree they food in my mouth.LOL i get full really quick from that small amt of stuff. i am still on liquids surgery was 2/4/09. going to mushies on monday. but dr weants me to stay on liquids to maximize the weight loss, but i cant i am to hungry. any way..you r not alone!!!!!
