ThinDolphin3 3 Posted January 10, 2009 Well I am going on 8 months of having the lap band and I'm not getting anywhere. My huge flippin stomach wont go anywhere. I started back to exercising this week after not exercising for 2 months and I've gaind 3 lbs:angry:...WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME. I thought working out you were suppose to lose weight NOT GAIN IT BACK. I havent had a fill since Nov 4th and I have 7 cc's in me so far. I can eat almost anything after the band loosens in the morning. I have fallen of the damn wagon and I dont know how to get back on it. I guess I keep eating slider foods, i dont know. I'm trying to be good, but I crave Cereal late at night and I eat salad and I am able to get down a WHOLE BOWL :scared2:of salad with all kinds of veggies, cheese, bacon bits etc. I should NOT be able to eat a whole damn bowl of salad. What the hell is wrong with me???:cool2: I dont have any diet plan laid out, I just try to watch what I eat and nothing seems to work. I dont get hungry at times I should be and I get hungry at times I shouldnt be getting hungry like at 8 or 9 pm while watching dvd's or reading. :grouphug: I'm at the end of my rope and I'm seriously thinking that this lap band was the wrong way to go..because I have so many things working AGAINST ME IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY...I have PCOS, INSULIN RESISTANCE and I'm FAT! I workout 4 times a week and I'm starting to think that if my body is gonna be stubborn then maybe I should be too and exercise for hrs EVERY DAY..but wont I be risking gaining muscle weight and not really losing any weight? I'm so confused and pissed off!! HHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP PLEASE!!!! LOVE DOLPHIN:wub: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coltonwade 27 Posted January 10, 2009 It sounds like the issue is you have not had a fill in 2 months. The band is a tool, it wont work if you dont use it . The band wont work as a tool with out the fills ( for most people) you say your hungry , the fills and the band control hunger. As for the weight gain, you said yourself you are probably eating slider foods. Slider foods or eating around your band is usually done by high calorie / low in Protein foods. So that can cause weight gain . Also when you work out you sometimes gain muscle at first , that can cause weight gain. You can eat a whole bowl of salad because you need a fill.
